Senior Brewer

BrewDog exists for one very simple reason. To make other people as passionate about awesome beer, in all its forms, as we are. With four breweries globally, a network of over 100 bars worldwide, and a passionate team of 2,000 beery disciples, we’ve grown up since we came howling into life in 2007 in a garage in the windswept northeast of Scotland.

We opened our state-of-the-art Aussie brewery and DogTap Taproom on the banks of the Brisbane River in 2019. Our team are super proud to be part of an incredible Aussie craft beer community, and with our rapid rate of growth, it’s a brilliant time to join our expanding brew-team.

BrewDog is an employee and community owned independent, carbon negative brewery. We’re focused on 3 things – amazing beer, our amazing people and partners, and our precious planet.

We’re looking for an innovative, consistent and experienced Brewer to be a leader within our passionate and growing brew-team. You’ll be helping lead our production as we dramatically scale-up over the coming years. You’ll be getting elbow deep in hops, malt & yeast, talking control of our brewhouse, and developing our epic range of craft beers together with our brewers. In this role you will lead shifts, and help manage our rapidly growing and increasingly complex production schedule, from Monday – Friday.

As our Senior Brewer, you will work closely with our Head Brewer and the production team to make sure that every drop of our epic craft beer is brewed according to our specifications, and in the best quality. You will be a great listener with a keen eye for detail and a willingness roll-up your sleeves and lead by example on a daily basis. Quite frankly, brewing isn’t just your job, it’s your passion, so we’re looking for someone with a great interest in the brewing process & its continual improvement. We expect you to come armed with proven prowess in the main areas of the brewing production process; this is not an entry-level role.

In this role we’d like you to think critically about our operations, be all about making BrewDog better; solving a problem, or a grand scheme that will change the game forever. With time, you will be given more responsibilities with regards to process execution and will be asked to contribute to discussions and decisions around process improvement.

You’ll be joining a global team of passionate brewers, obsessed with quality and constantly improving the most important thing we do – making great beer.
