To improve your experience update it here The hunt is on for what could be one of the most sought-after jobs in the world, with the Asahi-owned Carlton and United Breweries looking for a new chief beer taster. The role is available now after incumbent Tina Panoutsos decided to step down after more than three decades. "I love it, that's why I've been here for over three decades," Panoutsos said.

Huh) The selection process involves a rigorous assessment of candidates' skills, with potential tasters required to analyse various aspects of beer, including colour, clarity, and overall appearance. Panoutsos does around 30 beer tastings a day in the role she's leaving, scoring each sample out of nine, looking for any abnormalities. "Definitely no coffee before tasting, and if so, wash your mouth out," she said. "Otherwise, no spicy food." This article was produced with the assistance of 9ExPress . national
