New Zealand's thirst city: A guide to Dunedin's breweries
Wellington might be known as the craft beer capital, but Dunedin was brewing before it was cool.
The southern city is synonymous with Speight’s, the oldest working brewery in New Zealand, established in 1876. Then in 1992, a local man named Richard Emerson started another brewery that would be one of the forerunners of the craft beer scene, redefining brewing in this country.
Several more have since joined them, from tiny taprooms down inner-city alleys, to cellar doors in the suburbs. Click here for a guide to Dunedin’s breweries. What's your favourite local brewer? Tell us in the comments below.
Say goodbye to tyre waste
About 40% of the 6.5 million tyres Kiwis use every year are recycled, repurposed, or used as tyre-derived fuel. But the rest end up in landfills, stockpiled or dumped.
The good news is now there’s an easy solution to all that tyre waste. It’s called Tyrewise and is New Zealand’s first national tyre recycling scheme.
Tyrewise ensures that tyres in Aotearoa New Zealand are recycled or repurposed properly, saving millions from going to the landfill.
