Rex Attitude: World's first single-malt, peat-smoked golden ale
Yeastie Boys, the brewing brainchild of local brewer Stu McKinlay and New Zealand's most notorious beer hunter Sam Possenniskie, is all set to release the Rex Attitude, the world’s first whisky beer. The Rex Attitude is the world's first single-malt, peat-smoked golden ale. The use of 100% heavily peated Scottish distilling malt results in one of the smokiest beers ever. The Yeastie Boys have already imported two tonnes of Scottish malt that’s needed specifically for the Rex Attitude.
The name Rex Attitude comes from a track by a French techno DJ. Yeastie Boy Stu McKinlay describes the beer as being sweet and complex but very smoky and intense. He said…
In essence we are creating a beer that is far more in keeping with the nature of the whiskies that we’ve been by. Much like the west coast whiskies themselves, this beer will very much challenge the perceptions of drinkers — it’ll have them asking themselves what beer actually is and where else the boundaries can be pushed.
Rex Attitude, the world’s first 100 percent peated whisky malt beer, will be formally released on April 30, 2011 at Regional Wines and Spirits, 15 Ellice Street, Mt Victoria.
