Micro Specialist

About Us

We love great craft beer. We want everyone to be as passionate about it as we are - and our bars are at the heart of that mission. You’ll help us deliver an amazing beer and customer experience every shift so, because we expect great things from you, we give great things back.

STAFF DISCOUNT – 25% off in bars, 30% off online and 50% off Brew Dog Merch (don’t put your hoody in the fridge though).

BEER TRAINING – We love beer and we want you to love beer too, so we’ll support you through the internationally-recognized Cicerone qualifications, so you can love it almost as much as we do. We’ll also pay you more for each level you pass.

AND A LOT MORE – enhanced sick pay, healthcare, life assurance, high street retail discounts, employee assistance programs, enhanced family friendly policies around maternity and paternity leave, holiday days per year, pawternity leave, DE+I and crew forum groups and a “shifty” crew beer at the end of every shift.

We’re focused on making sure that we, and future generations, have a planet to brew great beer on. Our industry leading techniques help us create and deliver unique beer whilst doing our bit (and others’) for the environment.
