4-WEEK SABBATICAL| After every 5 years here full time employees will receive an additional 4 weeks off to spend it doing whatever you want.
AND A LOT MORE | Okay, deep breath… full time employees will receive enhanced sick pay, healthcare, life assurance, high street retail discounts, employee assistance programmes, 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 also the world’s first carbon negative beer business. 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.
