THE recent gloomy figures on pub closures may have made you think it\u2019s last orders for the beer industry, but nothing could be further from the truth.<\/p>\n

While the pub sector may be changing, the number of independent breweries is still rising and the industry is leading the way in the creation of innovative and exciting new jobs.<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

Figures from the Just Drinks tracker show the number of AI-related brewing jobs has doubled in the past year. Alongside this, breweries are becoming more creative, introducing roles from beer sommeliers to influencer managers and net zero specialists, appealing to both younger drinkers and jobseekers in general.<\/p>\n

The sector is also becoming more inclusive, with some firms scrapping traditional CVs in favour of gamified hiring in the hunt for fresh talent.<\/p>\n

Salaries vary widely, from apprentice brewers pocketing an average of \u00a318,000, up to six-figure wages for bosses of big-name breweries.<\/p>\n

However, the growing number of breweries means there are opportunities in almost every area of the UK, including rural and coastal districts.<\/p>\n

Sharp\u2019s Brewery in Rock, Cornwall, is one of the nation\u2019s most remote but produces Doom Bar, the UK\u2019s best-selling cask ale.<\/p>\n

Its beer sommelier \u2014 one of only 200 in the world \u2014 is Ed Hughes, 39, who also lives in Rock.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cBreweries are much more complex than we think. Roles range from sommelier, to engineers, to sales, to lab technicians, to logistics, to procurement and finance.<\/p>\n

\u201cI see myself as a beer ambassador. One week I could be involved in a cooking demo at a festival with a chef, the next I\u2019m working on a new launch or training category managers for one of our customers.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe supermarket wine aisle is easy to navigate. But, when it comes to beer, you\u2019ve often got stouts next to double dry hopped IPAs, next to craft lager. It\u2019s a confusing place to be faced with, so I like helping people go on their own voyage of discovery of beer styles and flavour.\u201d<\/p>\n

Joe Sidley, head of acquisition at Molson Coors, which owns Sharps, said: \u201cWe are always looking for individuals who possess the talent, drive, and values that align with our business.<\/p>\n

\u201cOnce they\u2019re on board, it then becomes our responsibility to supply them with the necessary training and support to help them realise their full potential.\u201d<\/p>\n

Creative boost of dyslexia<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

OCTOBER is Dyslexia Awareness Month, but just one in five who have the condition feel their workplace knows their strengths.<\/p>\n

The findings were revealed in new research from LinkedIn and charity Made By Dyslexia.<\/p>\n

Around ten per cent of the population has dyslexia and dyslexic people can be brilliant employees.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Chris Griffiths, creator of productivity app\u00a0ayoa.com, said: \u201cThough people with dyslexia can struggle with reading and writing, they\u2019re often very creative and able to think about things differently, making them a valuable asset in the workplace.<\/p>\n

Here Chris, above, spells out why.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. They\u2019re innovative: Those with dyslexia process information in a different way, so they need to think differently to traditional linear methods. This requires them to be highly imaginative and innovative thinkers that can devise truly creative ideas.<\/li>\n
  2. They\u2019re puzzle-solvers: Most thrive when tasked with a puzzle because they\u2019re able to analyse complex systems and see how they connect. They also tend to have better peripheral vision, which helps them to see the bigger picture.<\/li>\n
  3. They have good reasoning: Their ability to see the bigger picture makes them great reasoners. Though they may find it difficult to focus on the finer details, their strengths lie in spotting patterns and using logic to predict outcomes.<\/li>\n
  4. They\u2019re determined: Dyslexic people can struggle with a combination of writing, reading, organisation and other necessary skills, so they have plenty of experience of overcoming obstacles without giving up.<\/li>\n
  5. They\u2019re understanding: Having needed extra support with different areas of learning, dyslexic employees are more likely to be understanding of the struggles of others in your workplace and be able to offer unorthodox solutions.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
