Production Brewer

Job Title: Production Brewer 40ft Brewery

Location: Blackhorse Road Brewery

Position: Permanent (Full-Time)

Schedule: Flexible (Choice of 4-day or 5-day work week)

40ft is an independent brewery producing fresh, modern beer. 

Born in a Dalston carpark in 2015 with just two 20ft shipping containers, we grew one shipping container at a time and are excited to have expanded last Summer to a new brewery and taproom on the Blackhorse Beer Mile.


B CORP CERTIFIED

From the start, sustainability has been part of our DNA — launching in repurposed shipping containers, brewing in a car park, and choosing not to use KeyKegs when everyone else was. It’s never been about trends. 

It’s just how we believe good beer should be made. Now, we’re proud to say that 40ft Brewery is officially a Certified B Corporation.
