Spokesman Tony van Kralingen said in a statement the company was fortunate to have Prof Katherine Smart as group chief brewer and praised her "outstanding talent".

"She has a wealth of experience and shares our passion for operational excellence and brewing beers of exceptional quality," he said.

Her accolades include the Institute of Brewing and Distilling Cambridge Prize.

Smart would take up her new role from 1 June, when her predecessor Barry Axcell retires.
