We’re looking for an enthusiastic and diligent Brewer to
join our Warmley,
Bristol site, where our close-knit team works across brewing,
engineering, packaging, laboratory, and distribution to produce around 250,000
pints each week. This is an excellent opportunity to join a quality-driven,
modern, and expanding brewery. The ideal candidate will be passionate about
beer, hard-working, reliable, able to work within our fortnightly rotating
shift pattern and committed to maintaining high standards across Health &
Safety, HACCP, quality, and communication.At our Warmley operation we brew the full Bath Ales range as
well as selected St Austell Brewery beers. Our five-vessel brewhouse (installed
in 2018) has capacity for over 50,000 brewers’ barrels annually—more than 14.5
million pints. The site features 23 fermentation vessels, two 40-ton malt
silos, SCADA-controlled brewing and fermentation processes, automated yeast
cropping and pitching via two Aber meters, and a Pentair cross-flow filtration
system. Each shift is run by a small team of two brewers reporting to the
Brewing Manager. On top of this, our modern packaging operation includes an
8,000bph Kosme Krones bottling line, a 15,000cph KHS canning line, a robotic
Kuka palletiser, and a Lambrechts Kegger Monobloc 60. All of this combined
makes up what is arguably the South West’s most sophisticated and
technologically advanced brewery. This varied role offers the chance to develop skills across
the full brewing cycle—from raw ingredients through to fermentation,
filtration, and supplying finished beer (cask, keg, bottle, and can) to our
packaging teams. It’s well suited to someone passionate about brewing who is
keen to learn.
It is important that any potential candidates are able to commit to the
shift-based nature of this role, where working patterns rotate fortnightly
