Production Brewer

Description:

You’ll be a core member of our small brewing team, brewing to spec and taking pride in the detail of every batch.

This is a broad, “sleeves rolled up” role combining brewing, cellar work, packaging and quality — expect to be hands-on across all of it. You’ll brew on our 20hL Le Hui steam-heated 3-vessel brewhouse and package on our Pneumatic Scale Angelus CB50 can line.
