Changes At Tuatara
Changes At Tuatara
Wellington’s own Tuatara has been brewing craft beer in the hills behind Waikanae since 2002. Brewing was originally the sole responsibility of founder Carl Vasta with his wife Simone taking care of the many other jobs involved in running a small business. Several years ago Dion Paige joined the company as a brewer having returned from his O.E. in Ireland where he had been brewing at Cork’s St Franciscan Well brewery. After several years of working brewers hours Dion has decided to take a break to spend time with his young family and Tuatara has employed the award winning homebrewer and Regional regular Michael Neilson to replace him.Regional would like to extend our congratulations to both Michael and Dion on their new ventures.

Everyone looked pretty happy about the changes on Saturday. Good luck to both of you (especially Dion who has definitely moved into a more challenging role!!!).
