Located in Quiberon, Sparkle is a craft brewery specializing in New England / Hazy IPAs. Founded in 2023 as a brewpub, we are experiencing strong growth, driven by the development of our sales in Brittany, across France, and internationally, as well as the installation of new fermenters in early 2025.
Our production, modest in size, is based on a 5 hL brewhouse, supported by 5 and 10 hL fermenters and bright tanks. Most of our batches are packaged in 44 cl cans using our own canning line, as well as 30L Keykegs.
As part of our growth and following a last-minute withdrawal, we are looking for a Production Manager to join our team.
You will report directly to the founder / head brewer.
