Upham Pub Company has announced the appointment of Rob Dupre as head brewer.
The Hampshire-based brewer, which recently announced its intention to float, said Dupre’s 29 years of experience in brewing would aid the expansion of its range.
Dupre has previously worked at Hogs Back Brewery and Itchen Valley Brewery, where he developed beers such as Pure Gold and Hampshire Rose and brewed more than 1 million pints of beer.
Upham chief executive Chris Phillips said; “Rob’s appointment will help us to continue to improve the quality and variety of our portfolio of craft beers and ales, using his expertise and the natural resource of the chalk filtered bore hole water supply we are lucky to have here in Hampshire.”
Dupre said: “This is a fantastic opportunity to brew the finest quality beer using Upham’s first class equipment to give the brewery the recognition it so richly deserves. I am confident in saying I hope to brew some of the best beers in the country here, through an injection of new ideas and some innovations to the recipes.”
