2. What’s the craft academy all about?
The Craft Academy was founded on the principle that young people who have the drive to succeed should be offered the opportunity to realise it.
Supported by Greene King, we have made it our mission to discover new talent in places that others may have overlooked, by offering exciting apprenticeship opportunities. Combining fresh talent & over 200 years of brewing experience. It’s as simple and uncomplicated at that.
On our 18 month apprenticeship, our Managers and Brewers act as mentors and teachers, recognising passion, promoting responsibility and passing on detailed knowledge of the brewing industry.
We build confidence in our newest recruits, offering opportunities to learn new skills, channel creativity & brew great beer.

4. How does it work? Meet the Brew recruits…
Our apprentices are inducted into the Brew Crew and are introduced to the various sectors of the business, from logistics to planning, brewing to brand management.
Through teamwork, apprentices are responsible for designing and building the Craft Academy beer range under careful guidance of our mentors.
They are briefed on the projects that will keep them excited and stimulated over the months as they hone their skills under the encouragement of our best people.
