Wellington
Who: Yeastie
Boys and PledgeMe
Yeastie Boys and PledgeMe cordially invite members of the media to the launch of Yeastie Boy’s equity crowdfunding campaign and pubcrawl next week.
The bell ringing and celebration will happen at 6pm at Goldings Freedive, with a bit of pomp, ceremony — as ceremonious as Stu can be standing on a stool — and movement. From 6 PM people will start pledging and Yeastie Boys beer will be available for potential investors. From 7 PM the crowd will start moving to some of Wellington’s favourite bars to rally support for the campaign.
It’s going to be a fun event with lots of good visuals… and hey… maybe you’ll even get a beer.
Yeastie Boys are selling 9.1% to 12.5% of their company in order to expand into the UK, for more information on the campaign visit check out the Yeastie Boys site. The equity campaign will be live on this link from 6 PM on 28 January.
Plan of Attack
• 5:50 PM:
head to Golding’s Free Dive to get ready for the countdown
(and hopefully glitter bomb).
• 6 PM: we’ll ring the
bell, Stu might give a short speech, and the campaign will
be live! People will start pledging, and we want to make it
big.
• 7–9 PM: we’ll move on to (some) of the bars
we love most in Wellington, and we’d love for you to join
for a tasting at each.

About Yeastie
Boys
Yeastie Boys is an award-winning
Wellington-based brewing company, without their own brewery,
who brew super-premium beer all over the world (from
Suffolk, through Boston and Adelaide, to Invercargill). The
brainchild of Stu McKinlay and Sam Possenniskie - two of New
Zealand's leading beer activists and visionaries – the
Yeastie Boys have been picking up trophies, poking their
tongues out at convention, and receiving critical acclaim
since their launch in 2008.
The Yeastie Boys are
left-field enough to be one of the few breweries who
regularly receive hate mail (for their infamous Rex
Attitude) but are pleased to report they occasionally
receive love letters too! Their beers are available in New
Zealand, Australia, New Caledonia, USA, Malaysia, Hong Kong,
China, Japan and United
Kingdom.
