A Little Bit of New Zealand Comes to Staten Island

On Wednesday, 5 September, Adobe Blues will be tapping 3 rare kegs of Yeastie Boys beers from New Zealand. We only shipped a handful to New York so here's your chance to try 3 of them in one spot!

Stu and Sam are the Yeastie Boys, part-time brewers who have been brewing since 2009. Come try the following beers from these "postmodern craft beer cult heroes":

• Digital IPA - 7% IPA hopped with Pacific Jade, Nelson Sauvin, Pacifica, and Motueka
• Pot Kettle Black - their flagship beer: a hoppy 6% porter
• Bye Bye Badman - a very sessionable northern English brown ale, 4.8%

Also keep an eye out for their Rex Attitude, brewed with 100% - yes, 100% - peat-smoked malt, newly arrived in bottles and limited kegs.

Adobe Blues is located at 63 Lafayette Avenue on Staten Island.
