Tired of the same old production line? Want to put your stamp on something unique and meaningful in one of the most iconic locations in Australia?

Sick of the Same Old, Same Old?

If you’re a brewer who's tired of:

Being stuck in a job where your ideas get ignored and creativity’s off the table…

Watching uninspired leadership steer good breweries into mediocrity…

Hustling in high-rent cities where you’re just another cog in the machine…

Working in places where the community is just a “target market” and not part of the culture...

Then this might be the most important job ad you’ll ever read.

Here’s why:

This Isn’t Just a Brewing Job — It’s a Chance to Craft Something Special

Autonomy and Influence – We’re not looking for a button pusher. You’ll have real creative control to shape our core range, develop new beers, and push boundaries.

Live and Work in Alice Springs – A unique lifestyle in one of Australia’s most fascinating regions. Affordable living, a thriving arts and food scene, and a sense of community you don’t get in the big cities.

Grow With Us – We're expanding. You’ll be an integral part of our leadership team as we scale operations and pursue exciting new distribution and festival opportunities.

Own the Brewery Floor – You'll lead brewing operations, manage and mentor a small team, and be hands-on with everything from grain to glass.

We Love Great Beer – Our beer is award-winning, our reputation is growing fast, and our customers love us. You’ll get to make beer you’re proud of — and people will travel to taste it.

Who Are We?

We’re Alice Springs Brewing Co, a fiercely independent brewery built in the heart of the Red Centre. Since 2018, we’ve grown from a dusty idea to a must-visit venue and respected name in the NT craft beer scene.

We're proudly local, community-driven, and serious about making beer that speaks to our region. Whether it’s pouring pints under the stars at a bush gig, or sending kegs to festivals down south, we’re here to make good beer and have fun doing it.

Our crew is small but passionate. We work hard, have a laugh, and back each other up. We’re looking for a like-minded human who’s ready to take charge and take us to the next level.

The Role

As Head Brewer, you’ll lead all aspects of beer production at Alice Springs Brewing Co, from brew planning to packaging and everything in between.

Your responsibilities will include:

Recipe development and execution across core and seasonal ranges

Managing raw material orders and inventory

Leading, training and scheduling brewing team members

Managing cellar, QA/QC and packaging operations

Ensuring cleanliness, safety, and compliance across the brewery

Monitoring and improving efficiency, yields, and product consistency

You’ll need:

Commercial brewing experience (3+ years in a leadership or senior brewing role)

Strong technical brewing knowledge (Cert IV or Diploma in Brewing a bonus)

A love of quality beer and pride in your craft

Solid communication and leadership skills

The ability to work independently, solve problems, and bring fresh ideas

A “roll your sleeves up” attitude — we’re a small team and no one’s above the squeegee!

Ready to Brew Where Most Don’t Dare?

This is more than a job — it’s a lifestyle and a leadership opportunity with massive upside.
