Thornbridge Brewery has added two new brewers to its team.

Rob Lovatt, who has nine years' experience at London brewery Meantime where he managed production, is replacing Kelly Ryan as brewery manager. He is also a trained microbiologist.

Australian Caolan Vaughan has joined as lead brewer and production manager and has brewing experience from Little Creatures brewery in Fremantle, Australia.

"Kelly has been an important member of the team with his enthusiasm and passion for making great beers and his ability to communicate this to others," said managing director Jim Harrison.

"Rob and Caolan join us as we are recording record sales and demand for our beers and as we look to once again expand our brewing horizons and brew styles such as Pilsners and other lagers their experience and talent will be invaluable."

The new recruits will be working under Brewer of the Year Stefano Cossi.
