A Queensland brewery is offering one lucky Australian the “job of their dreams” to taste beer for just a few hours a year.
The Sunshine Coast’s Heads of Noosa Brewing Company is on the hunt for a chief beer tasting officer to test out their upcoming limited-edition brews before they’re released to the public.
Not only does the job come with plenty of schooners and a $200 lunch at the “happiest place on earth” in their brewery, the right applicant will only have to work for a “whopping” four hours a year to give the tick of approval to the new beers.
For every hour that the tasting officer works, they’ll be compensated $250, meaning the candidate will take home $1000 after a hard slog of throwing back pints.
“Pop the top on the very first beer within our limited release beers brewed,” the job description reads.
“Sip, savour, and analyse the aroma, flavour, and overall brew quality.
“Make critical decisions about whether the beer meets Heads of Noosa’s exceptional standards.”
The job isn’t just for any beer lover, with the company only interested in hiring those who have “a passion for beer that rivals your love for anything else in life”.
“We want someone who can tell a lager from an ale blindfolded and turn beer tasting into an art form,” brewery co-founder Lance Masterton said.
The right applicant will be able to distinguish between the “finest nuances of malt and hops”.
“An uncanny ability to tell the difference between good beer and ‘Holy s#!&, this is what dreams are made of!’ beer,” Heads of Noosa said about their candidate.
On top of the handsome salary and free food and drink, the successful applicant will also take home a work “uniform” of the brewery’s merchandise and two cartons of every 2024 Heads of Noosa limited-release beers.
Those hoping to secure the job as the “ultimate beer influencer” can do so by heading to the Heads of Noosa website and submitting a 50-word application.
