BrewDog Creates 40 New Jobs & Announces Graduate Program

At BrewDog we are growing. Quickly. From our humble beginnings 5 years ago we have now grown into a dynamic small company which exports to 27 countries and operates 8 craft beer bars. Furthermore we are just completing our state of the art new £8m brewery which will give us much needed production capacity to make more hardcore craft beers.

Our mission has always been to make other people as passionate about great craft beer as we are and we now need more talented people to help us continue this mission and redefine the UK beer scene in the process. But changing the brewing world overnight is no weenie roast. You’ll be glad to hear we’re in it for the long haul. And with great packages, massive scope for personal and professional development and a front row seat to the craft beer revolution available we want you to join our punked up team of craft beer renegades.  

Due to our high growth we have created 40 new jobs and are looking for people in all aspects of our business from productions engineers to brewers and from bar managers to administrators. In addition we are also launching The BrewDog Graduate plan which will see a full year placement for 2 successful applicants. Details on how to apply for the graduate program will be announced in the next few days.
