Turns out a lot of people are excited by the idea of getting paid to drink beer, with a Noosa brewery receiving more than 600 applicants to their latest job offer.
Brothers and brewers Craig and Lance Masterton started Heads of Noosa Brewery in 2010 and they are currently on the hunt for a CBTO – Chief Beer Tasting Officer.
The successful candidate will be required to work four days a year from their Noosa HQ and will be paid a whopping $250 an hour for their time.
The main responsibility of the job is to taste test the limited release brews for 2024.
One of the key responsibilities include “An uncanny ability to tell the difference between good beer and ‘Holy s#!&, this is what dreams are made of!’ beer.
The successful candidate will also enjoy free lunch on work days and two cartons of every 2024 Heads of Noosa Limited Release.
Head Brewer Lance Masterton said, “With the limited releases we thought it would be a good idea to have someone in here with a fresh set of eyes just to be sure that what we put in the pack is exceptional.”
“We want someone with a passion for beer and overall someone who can fit into the team well.
“Applications close on 17 December, so we will make the call to the successful candidate just before Christmas.”
Lance said they’ve just recently completed a renovation at their Taproom in Noosaville.
“We basically wanted to make the place more comfortable. We refurbished and found some amazing couches,” he said.
“It is definitely the time for a brewery visit and as the weather gets warmer, we always pick up. So looking forward to the season ahead and hopefully it’s the same around town.
“We wish everyone a Merry Christmas and hope it’s a safe one for all.”
