Beer Cartel is a growing bottle shop, with a particular focus on craft beer. We are located in Artarmon, Sydney approximately 10 minutes drive from the CBD.

We have a need for a casual bottle shop/warehouse assistant to help in our store and warehouse. As well as joining a choice team duties will include serving customers, creating postal orders, unloading and packing of stock as well as the potential to make customer deliveries.

The role would involve approximately 3-4 hours a day, two to three times a week – possibly more in busy periods . The ideal candidate would have their RSA and a clean drivers license. An interest in craft beer will be viewed very favourably.

If you are interested please give us a buzz 1300 808 254, or via our Contact Us page.

Our latest beer available for Growler fills is HopDog Beerworks – Horns Up Rye IPA

5.8% abv, 70 IBUs (that’s big bitterness!)

Horns Up Rye IPA is a no holds barred India Pale Ale, chockers full of the best hops New Zealand and the US have to offer, all riding on a solid malt backbone with a hefty serve of malted rye to deliver to your taste buds the Lupulin kick you’ve been craving. Big pungent hops on the nose followed by hop flavour and bitterness cascading over the tongue with malt sweetness and biscuitiness from the rye. This IPA finishes strong and dry with a lingering bitterness that just goes on, and on, and on like a screaming heavy metal guitar solo, and an after taste that reminds you that you’ve just had an awesome hoppy experience, like the ringing in your ears after a decibel shattering concert. Horns Up!
