Brewer, Guinness Open Gate Brewery
Location: Covent Garden, London
Full Time, Permanent
Closing Date: July 10, 2025
About The Team
This is an opportunity to become a member of the inaugural brewing team for Guinness Open Gate Brewery, London (GOGBL). GOGBL is located on a historic site in Covent Garden. The site features a 15 HL brewery and brand immersion experience, a covered courtyard beer garden, retail stores, event spaces, and two restaurants. We will constantly develop new and unique beers to fill our multiple rotating tap lines, and create a unique brewery consumer experience that only Guinness could do. The brewery team will consist of a QA manager, two Senior Brewers and three Brewers all reporting into the Head of Site Operations.
Purpose Of Role
Brewers are responsible for brewing, cellaring and packaging operations in our experimental brewery. They work closely with Quality, Facilities, Logistics and Retail/Restaurant Operations. The brewers are also contributors to innovation and recipe development. We are looking for motivated, passionate, self-starting brewers to brew outstanding beers across a range of styles. The brewing team will be visible faces at GOGBL creating an inclusive and vibrant experience for the team and customers alike.
Primary Focus Areas
Brewers will be on their feet in the brewery for long periods of time. They will be required to stand, walk and climb as well as crouch and kneel. They will be required to operate valves, move hoses and handle boxes and bags. The employee must be able to lift and/or move 25kg.
The brewers will be working in the brewhouse, cellar, and packaging areas which will be hotter or colder than typical office environments. They may also be near noise, pressurized systems, hot liquids, airborne particles, chemicals and moving machinery.
Weekend and holiday work as required. Start times may vary.
Working with Us
Flexibility is key to success in our business and many of our people work flexibly in many different ways, including part-time, compressed hours, flexible location. Please talk to us about what flexibility means to you and don’t let anything stop you from applying.
We believe the most diverse and inclusive culture makes for a better business and a better world.
We know that for our business to thrive and for Diageo to realise its ambition, we depend on having diverse talent with a range of backgrounds, skills and capabilities in each of the countries in which we operate and to reflect our broad consumer base.
Around the world we have a number of inclusive Business and Employee Resource Groups known as BRGs and ERGs. These influential groups, made up of our people, represent various viewpoints, experiences and communities who generate thought-provoking work to enhance our business and workplace, creating a sense of belonging and opportunities for all.
Join us, and you'll be part of an organisation that embraces diversity in the broadest possible sense. This means that you'll be welcomed and celebrated for who you are just by being you. You'll be part of — and help build — an inclusive culture that celebrates people of different gender, ethnicity, ability, age, sexual orientation, social class, educational backgrounds, experiences, mindsets, and more. And you'll help us champion inclusion and diversity across our entire business: with our employees, our suppliers, across our brands, and within the communities in which we operate.
