As the supermarket gets ready to release its new range, it is looking to hire someone who is partial to a Pilsner.

The lucky winner receives a selection of beers, lagers and ciders in exchange for their thoughts on each one, helping the bosses decide what to stock their shelves with.

Julie Ashfield, managing director of buying at Aldi UK, specifies the ideal candidate: "We’re looking for someone with passion and excitement when it comes to craft ale, but who can honestly review our range and provide suggestions as to how we might improve it for next year. For beer lovers, this is the ultimate opportunity.

"Best of luck to all applicants."
