Brewery owner behind racist Facebook rant 'deeply sorry' after business partners abandon him

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from Northern Outlook

David Gaughan, the owner of Eagle Brewing and the Port & Eagle Brewpub in Kaiapoi, has been roundly criticised after he called Māori men “New Zealand’s biggest problem” in a Facebook rant.

Business partners deserted him in droves following the post.

He later apologised for his “completely unacceptable” comments and said he hoped his business would be given a second chance.
