Since launching towards the end of 2017, Burnley Brewing's Richmond brewpub has proved a delightful space in which to enjoy quality beer, with the owners also operating a production facility off-site.
If you're an experienced brewer who loves dogs named Harry and the Harry Potter franchise, the brewery might have your dream job too. (Even if you don't meet the Harry-based requirements, they'd like to hear from you too.)
