So Jett, what’s your favourite beer?

I really like the Burleigh 28. My favourite taphouse exclusive was the Burleigh High-Tide, I hope we bring it back one day!

When did you start working at Burleigh Brewing?

I started working here in the Taphouse in September of 2019. During Covid when the Burleigh Taphouse was closed I worked as a brewery assistant and now I’m back in the Taphouse as a Taphouse Coordinator!

Is this your first bar tending job?

Yes. Before I started at Burleigh I worked in retail, building event sites and also interned at the World Surf League.

Besides beer, what are your interests?

I love surfing! I used to compete but now I just do it for the love of it. The best break I’ve ever surfed was Cloud Break in FIJI.

Do you think you know more about beer/enjoy beer more now than you did before you started at Burleigh?

Yes 100%! I knew next to nothing about beer before this job, now I know it inside out.

If you could brew anything, what would it be?

I really like the taste of caramel malts so probably nice dark, smooth ale with heavy caramel flavours and a hint of chocolate! It would be like a Mars Bar beer…

Do you have a special beer related skill?

I think I have the fasted cleaning time of our Lauter Tuns.

Who has the baddest skills in the bar?

Jack Carrol, even though I hate admitting it.

Most impressive beer fact you know?

I think the craziest thing to me is how long beer has been around! The history of beer dates all the way back to the Sumerian civilisation, about 9 thousand years ago and then was made popular by the Egyptians a thousand years after that.

Why do you think a local should come to the Taphouse this weekend?

We have a great selection of beer as well as great live music on Saturday and Sunday.
