After 100 intense days with the help of many a tradesman, their structurally sound but broken brewery was reborn to include a bar, café, music venue and restaurant.
Shanks​ brought vital engineering skills to the building of new brewing equipment, from his previous experience as an aircraft engineer at Air New Zealand.
Head brewer Simon Bretherton​, a British expat who had been making beer aroudn the world since his early teens, was recruited. He is credited with improving the consistency and drinkability of Cassels beer.
