A teenager who is not old enough to drink has become the UK's youngest brewer at just 17 years old - and he can't wait for his birthday next month to order a pint of his own beer.
Jacob Murphy became fascinated with brewing after he visited the Guinness Storehouse during a family holiday to Dublin when he was ten.
Two years ago he started working part time at the Fixed Wheel Brewery in Blackheath, West Mids., mixing up the hops and malt.
He impressed owner Scott Povey so much he has now been offered an apprenticeship, making him the UK's youngest professional brewer.
Jacob, from Quinton, Birmingham, said: "I just remember I really got interested in brewing beer after that trip to the Guinness factory in Dublin.
"I really loved all the smells and stuff and seeing all the barrels. It got me into it.
"When I was 15 I started emailing brewers near me and Scott replied.
"I did a brewery tour and did a few days experience to get used to the working environment.”
