The candidates face an early morning trip to the pub, as this task sees them coming up with a new flavoured beer; two candidates who want Lord Sugar to invest in the drinks business go head-to-head to prove themselves.
Half the teams head off to a brewery to dream up their drinks, while the rest brainstorm brands for their beers. One team opts for a rhubarb beer, while the others choose chocolate and orange - but there is trouble brewing when the manufacturing process goes into meltdown and potential profit is poured down the drain.
On sales day one team heads straight for an ale festival, while the others have a worrying start as they set up shop in a deserted beer garden. Sense is in short supply for one team, who try and pitch their beer to a pub without a sample, and pricing up pints proves problematic.
In the boardroom alliances are exposed, and it is an emotional rollercoaster for one candidate; but ultimately it is closing time for someone when Lord Sugar tells them 'You're fired!'.
Season 9 Episode 2 of The Apprentice (UK) resulted in a 0.00 rating in the 18-49 demographic.
The Apprentice sees fourteen candidates, competing against each other for a position at Lord Alan Sugar's company. Each week the candidates take part in a task set by Lord Sugar. Each team will have a Team Leader who managers that group for that task.
The team that performs the best will win a reward and avoid the boardroom. The losing team will be summoned to the boardroom where their team leader will be forced to pick two people in their team who we join them in the boardroom and a chance to be fired.
After twelve weeks Lord Sugar will be left with his Apprentice, who will work for him at a salary of £100,000. Lord Sugar is very busy so he has Nick and Karen, who act as his eyes and ears, to inform him of what's going on.
