We're hiring hosts in Aberdeen, Glasgow & Edinburgh

Did you know Scotland was once the largest exporter of bottled beer in the world and we started exporting beer 200 years before we started exporting whisky?

Do you have a passion and enthusiasm for history and meeting new people? Would you love it even more if you had the chance to create connections over local beer and great stories? This is the perfect opportunity for you.

With guest numbers increasing again, we’re hiring hosts in Aberdeen, Edinburgh and Glasgow who are consistently available at least one Saturday per month. Additional work is available particularly over the summer months.

Previous experience is a bonus but not at all necessary - full training is provided. You’ll be delivering experiences based on a tested format with plenty of room to add your own knowledge, creative flair and personality.

Since 2017, locals and visitors from across the world have been joining ScotBeer’s walking tours and beer tastings to hear the story of Scotland through beer.
