                A brewery engineer could be doing many things, there would be fires to stoke to boil water, pumps and vats to maintain, plus the brewery building to maintain, it does also depend on the brewery as there were several types favoured by different brewing families.
                The Victorians favoured tower breweries where the process starts at the top and uses gravity rather than pumps to shift the liquids around, in that case there would be grain lifts powered by steam engines. In Yorkshire Tetley used it's famous squares for brewing vats which put basically were big lined tanks. Burton on trent favoured the union system where the vats (tanks) are joined together by pipework.
                So as I say it depends on the brewery and it's location as to what an engineer would be involved in.
                Good luck with finding out.

                    Hi Val, just out of interest which town are we talking about, or if London what area? It may be that the brewery is still going or the company was taken over by one that is still trading. IF you know the brewery even beter.

                            My brother is a recently retired engineer from a brewery. Looking after the brewing machinery, pipework, vats etc is exactly what he did. it was quite an old London brewery and I don't suppose the machinery had changed much from earlier times.
