Brewer Wanted
A rare opportunity to join the small, collaborative brew team at Duration — an independent farmhouse brewery producing modern and traditional beers in West Norfolk.
About Us
Duration Brewing is widely respected for innovation and quality. We collaborate with leading breweries across the UK and internationally, and have been recognised as a Top 10 New Brewer globally by RateBeer and a Top 8 UK brewery by The Sunday Times. Since 2019, we’ve received over 35 awards.
We encourage creativity and idea-sharing, producing beers that reflect both our customers and our region’s agricultural heritage. Our range includes pales, IPAs, lagers, stouts, Belgian styles, mixed fermentation, barrel-aged beers, and modern cask. Our setup includes a 20HL BrauKon brewhouse, GEA centrifuge, CODI canning line, coolship, foeders, bottling line, and a modern water treatment plant.
The Role
Ideal for someone with 2–3 years’ commercial brewing experience looking to broaden their skills in a hands-on, varied role.
You’ll cover all aspects of production — from recipe development and brewing through to cellar work, packaging, and water treatment. Working closely with our Head Brewer and Production Manager, most of your time will be on the brew floor, with some packaging, cleaning, and admin.
We’re looking for someone organised, proactive, and a strong problem solver — able to manage their workload independently while communicating well within a small team.
A formal qualification is not required but is advantageous. A full clean driving licence and access to a vehicle is essential due to our rural location.
