Yeastie Boys - Rex Attitude
Posted: Sunday Jul 24, 2011 2:40 am
Has anyone else had the fortune to try the Rex Attitude brewed by New Zealand brewers Yeastie Boys?
it was on at the local a while back for their NZ Spectapular and it is the most interesting beer I have ever tried and it's a very love/hate beer.

My friend who hated it has put it best as tasting like the smell of a bush fire but I love.They said it couldn't be done, that it would be undrinkable, that we couldn't use more than 5% heavy peated malt in a beer. So we carefully considered their advice and went with 100% instead. Rex Attitude is inspired by French techno and the whisky of Scotland's west coast. like the 'Auld Alliance' it combines a little Scottish rogue with a dose of French 'je ne sais quoi'. It is, as far as we know, the world's first beer made from 100% heavy peated distilling malt.
