Ava Nakagawa grew up in the pub and beer scene before starting her own brewery, The Beer Baroness. “It was around the time of the quake that craft beer really took off in Christchurch, and we got involved in it.”Nakagawa is one of a growing number of women working in New Zealand’s beer industry. These women are brewing some of the best beer we drink, in an industry that was once dominated by males. Dominico Zapata/Stuff Tracy Banner has been in the beer industry for 38 years, and owns Nelson-based brewery Sprig and Fern. Marion van Dijk/Stuff Natasha O’Brien says brewing beer is a “fun industry and a cool career”.
