Are you a passionate boodie or feerdie (beer/foodie)?! Want to manage the second phase of the BottleStore & Provisions? Apply now!

The Local BottleStore & Provisions' manager, James Smith, is heading back to university to complete his studies (which were interrupted when he began working at The Local Taphouse almost four years ago!). Fortunately for us, James will still be involved on a casual basis with beery stuff across all the businesses and GABS.

So we're now looking for a new full-time Store manager!

What's make this especially exciting is that the successful candidate will be joining at a very exciting time as we proceed with the planned second stage of the Store's development.

Over the next few months, we will be significantly increasing the "provisions" element of the Store. We will still provide all the great things we offer now but we will be ramping up the gourmet food store/providore side so it becomes a more complete eating and drinking destination in the neighbourhood.

The Taphouse's new Head Chef, Jeff Simpson (ex Sapore, Richmond Hill & Larder) is joining us in a couple of weeks and will be working to create many delectable delights to complement all the other new foodie items we will be cramming the shelves with.

We will also be extending our already impressive bottled beer and cider range AND increasing the number of growler/squealer taps over time.

But wait, there's more! Subject to permits and licensing applications being finalised, customers will soon be able to drink any bottle of any beer/wine/cider on the shelf or fridge and enjoy something to eat while seated in the Store.
