We’re seeking an enthusiastic and diligent brewer to join our Brewing team at St Austell Brewery (Bath Ales), in Warmley, Bristol. Our friendly team of 25 people, split across brewing, engineering, packaging, laboratory, and distribution, work together to make a quarter of a million pints of beer every week.

Our five-vessel brewhouse was installed in 2018 and has the capacity to produce more than 50,000 brewers’ barrels of beer – over 14.5 million pints – each year. The South West’s most sophisticated and technologically advanced brewery has 23 fermentation vessels, two 40-ton malt silos, SCADA-controlled processes throughout brewing and fermentation, automated yeast cropping and pitching using two Aber meters, and a Pentair cross-flow filtration system. Everything is operated by a small team of two brewers per shift, who report to the Brewing Manager. Our modern packaging lines comprise of an 8,000bph Kosme Krones bottling line, a 15,000cph KHS canning line, and a robotic Kuka palletisation system. We also have a Lambrechts Kegger Monobloc 60 machine.

You’ll work closely with our production teams (Packaging, Quality, and Engineering) and provide the packaging lines with finished beer across cask, keg, bottle, and can.
