What will the apprentice be doing?
In this role you will learn all parts of the brewing process from raw material intake through to packaging and be expected to master all of them, so expect plenty of change and challenge as you learn your trade. You will be part of a small team responsible for all aspects of the beer production process and day-to-day operations of the brewery. Naturally, you will spend a great deal of time on the production floor but that's not to say the role won't involve many different tasks. Aside from the day-to-day routine there will be many other duties to get involved with. Evaluating raw materials to ensure they meet the specific quality and assisting in the packaging operations.
What training will the apprentice take and what qualification will the apprentice get at the end?
At the end of the course there is a real prospect that a good candidate will gain full-time employment within the brewing team or alternatively leave with a renowned qualification and desirable practical CV which will make finding work elsewhere far more accessible.
