Love beer and want to be part of a working brewery? We're hiring! Read on to see how you could join the Brampton Brewery team as our new Trainee Brewer.
About Us:
Brampton Brewery is an 8 barrel, cask-focused brewery based on the historic Brampton Mile in Chesterfield. Our founders re-established Brampton Brewery in 2007, bringing brewing back to Brampton after a 52-year absence. The brewery is known for its meticulously brewed cask-ales and has won numerous awards for its beers, regularly brewing a wide range of cask ales including our renowned Brampton Mild and best-selling Golden Bud.
We strive to protect and promote the rich heritage associated with the Brampton Brewery name, whilst playing our own part in the blossoming craft beer scene. We mostly supply cask to our four pubs: The Rose and Crown, The Tramway Tavern, The Glassworks and The Lamb Inn, as well as bottling in-house mostly for our on-site shop.
