Brewer Apprentice

Situated in Norwich, we provide brewery tours, beer tastings and woodfire pizzas and bar in our 500 pax capacity venue. We specialise in high-quality, small-batch production, crafting a diverse range of pale ales, lagers, and stouts. Our mission is to supply the finest local shops and pubs with authentic, flavourful beer that celebrates regional brewing traditions.

As a small-batch producer, we believe in the importance of passing down technical skills to the next generation. We are looking for an enthusiastic individual to grow alongside our team, bringing fresh energy to our operations while learning the precision required for craft brewing. This role is vital for increasing our capacity while maintaining our "quality-first" ethos.

The apprentice will receive hands-on mentorship from our experienced brewer, gaining direct exposure to the end-to-end production cycle—from grain selection to packaging. We provide a supportive environment where they can master technical brewing equipment, recipe development, and quality control. We are committed to funding formal training and providing the dedicated time needed to achieve their professional qualifications.

The apprenticeship will be heavily involved in the full production of our beer, from the initial fermentation process, cleaning and maintaining equipment to the canning of the beer. They will get involved with beer tours, tastings and dealing with beer sales and customers. This is an exciting opportunity for someone who is passionate about beer and learning the traditional skills of brewing. For more information about us please visit: https://www.redwellbrewing.com/
