Calling all beer lovers and connoisseurs - Aldi may just have the dream job for you...

The supermarket is on a nationwide search to find an official beer taster to review its new range of beers, lagers and ciders launching on September 15th.

The lucky lager reviewer will get their hands on a variety of beers that require a taste test, as well as provide feedback in order to help advise the bosses of the German retailer as part of their decision-making process.

As the one-of-a-kind job entails consuming ten different products such as smooth craft ales and refreshing IPA, those wanting the role need to have "a passion for beer and pints of enthusiasm."
