Justin Corbitt has been appointed head brewer at Hawkers Beer in Melbourne, taking the reins from Jon Seltin.
Seltin has departed Hawkers to partake in a new brewing venture, details of which will be revealed in the coming weeks.
Corbitt joined Hawkers in September 2015 on the packaging line, shifting to the brew decks five months later.
He is currently undertaking his Masters in Brewing and Distilling with Heriot Watt University, Edinburgh.
“Justin is an incredibly talented and technically capable brewer who will lead our brewery to the next level,” commented Hawkers founder Mazen Hajjar.
Founded in early 2015, Hawkers now has a staff of 30.
