Supermarket chain Aldi is on the hunt for an official 'beer taster' ahead of its 25th Scottish Beer Festival.

The lucky applicant will sample and review all 30 Scottish craft products being showcased as part of the in-store campaign.

The beers originate from 11 different Scottish suppliers, and a crate will be sent to the home of the winner to review.

Before carrying out the tasting, the chosen beer fan will spend time with experts at Fierce Beer, one of Scotland's top craft beer suppliers, to gain experience, skills and knowledge in beer sampling.

The event has been launched across all 98 Aldi Scotland stores and allows customers to select from a wide range of high-quality craft beers.

Graham Nicolson, Aldi Scotland group buying director, said: “We are excited to open up applications to anyone over the age of 18 to become our first ever Official Customer Craft Beer Tester. For craft beer lovers, this really is the ultimate opportunity, allowing you to sample and feedback on a wide variety of craft beers.

“It is really important to us that we source products we know our customers will enjoy and we are excited to get valued feedback from a true Scottish craft beer fan.

“There are some incredibly talented people working in the craft beer industry here in Scotland and, at Aldi Scotland, our buying team remain focused on doing all they can to support and promote local suppliers.

“The Beer Festival was launched with the intention of showcasing the innovation and diversity of our Scottish craft beer suppliers. It is hard to believe we are now hosting our 25th festival and it is fantastic to see it go from strength to strength over the years. It is always one of the highlights for us, and our customers.”

To be considered, beer lovers simply have to provide a summary of why they would be best suited to the position. 

Applicants must be 18 or over and should visit the Aldi website at www.aldi.co.uk/scottishbeerfestival.
