Misc. Notes
Name from:
http://www.theprow.org.nz/enterprise/nelson-brewing-family/#.WUxqMMZ7F0o
Also, from the above:
Nick Duncan and [brother] John Duncan both worked in the [family] brewery [Nelson Breweries Ltd formerly J. R. Dodson & Son] with their uncle after school and during holidays. Nick completed a food technology degree on leaving school, before returning to the family business. After studying microbiology, John joined Penfolds Wines as a technician. Meanwhile, as the last remaining brewery in Nelson, Nelson Breweries was faced with the prospect of massive capital investment to modernise. The outlay was deemed unviable, and the business sold to Dominion Breweries in 1969.2 D.B. promptly closed the brewery and the Rutherford Hotel now stands on the site.
With the sale, Nick Duncan transferred to Dominion Breweries and trained as a brewer, working first in Auckland, then Mangatainoka, Greymouth and Timaru.
Meanwhile, John had left Penfolds and worked a number of jobs, always visiting Nick at his postings around the country. Beer was always part of family conversations during these visits and it was a fateful coincidence that McCashin's Brewery was looking for a maltster and brewer when John decided to move with his family back to Nelson in 1986. It was to prove a homecoming in more ways than one. During the ensuing twelve years a desire grew in John to rekindle the family tradition, so with his wife Carol he set out to establish a new Duncan family brewery.

Sitting majestically just inside the entrance to Nelson's Founders Park, Duncan House has numerous tales to tell, if only it could speak....
During the late 1800s and early 1900s, various alterations saw it evolve into a two-storey house, then a private hospital, before being bought in 1902 by JR Dodson Brewery owner Henry Duncan, the grandfather of Founders Brewery owner John Duncan.
