Brewery workers might be involved in the whole process, or just certain stages.
Beer making starts with mixing malted barley, hops, yeast, water and sugar, and uses automated machinery to make sure the product is consistent. Brewery workers could be operating machinery, monitoring the temperature and quality of the beer, and even testing samples.
Brewery workers usually work about 39 hours a week, and normally work shifts. Breweries are noisy, hot, steamy places, with strong smells.
Salaries range from around £16,000 to £32,000 a year.
A brewery worker should be:
It is important to be:
• good at teamwork
• prepared to do a job which may be physically demanding.
There are now fewer job vacancies for brewery workers because of the increased use of machinery.

There are no age restrictions, and most people start at over 18 years old because of the shift work involved.
Training for brewery workers is often carried out on the job, but there are also NVQ or equivalent qualifications available.
Brewery workers may be promoted to supervisory level if they gain enough experience.
