How did I get the job
Through an ad in the trade press I got in touch with Mick the founding brewer who was soon to return to Australia to his family. Luckily for me the day arranged for me to come down to the brewery to be interviewed was also the day that the first trial brew was taking place.

I joined in with the brewing and ended up spending six hours there, which certainly makes it the longest and the most interesting job interview I’ve ever had and I even got to drink some of the beer we made!
I must have made a good impression as it wasn’t long before I was offered the job and I had no hesitation in accepting.

I was able to overlap with Mick for a week before he left so I could check the details of how the equipment worked and since then I’ve been in charge. There’s plenty of work to do but as far as jobs go being in charge of a brewery takes some beating.
