Shift Brewer

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. 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 is important that any potential candidates are able to commit to the shift-based nature of this role, where working patterns rotate fortnightly between early shift (6:00–14:30) and late shift (13:30–22:00). Candidates will also be required to work a weekend rota (paid at time and a half).
