Terence Michael McCashin (18 January 1944 – 31 October 2017) was a New Zealand businessman who, together with his wife, founded the country's first craft brewery, McCashin's Brewery, in 1981 in Nelson.
He also represented the country in rugby union, playing seven matches for the All Blacks.[1][2]
McCashin owned land in the Port Hills in Christchurch and started negotiating in 2016 with the Summit Road Society, a Port Hills protection society, about the sale of that land. The Summit Road Society purchased the 233 hectares (580 acres) in October 2018 from McCashin's estate.[3]
McCashin died on 31 October 2017, aged 73. He is survived by wife Beverley and their five children.[1]
