High volume brewpub seeks efficient and quality-focused Assistant Brewer

Fitger's Brewhouse, Duluth

 

Our exciting and expanding company seeks a motivated brewer who wants to be a part of a growing organization. The successful candidate has a strong work ethic, positive attitude and a huge passion for beer. Fitger's Brewhouse brewers take a serious responsibility for each aspect of a beer's production; from the hot side of the brewery, to the cellar, and the eventual delivery into a customer's glass. 

 

Fitger's Brewhouse opened in 1995 and has since become Minnesota's most producing brewpub. Driven by quality, last year the brewery produced 110 recipes and sold nearly 3,000 barrels in its two restaurants, a night club, catered concerts and festivals and in growlers from the brewery. This October a third restaurant and alehouse will be opened in downtown Duluth, which will increase the breweries production needs.

 

Our brewers take great pride in the beer they produce and the community it serves. In our brewery, attention to detail is tantamount to creating new and exciting brews. You must have the ability to strictly follow recipes and a standard operating procedure. 

 

Our brewhouse is a hands on operation and can be physically taxing. It requires your ability to bend, twist, kneel, climb stairs, stand, shovel hot grain, lift 55+ pounds repeatedly, work with hot and cold liquids, lift and roll full kegs and handle oak barrels. 

 

Your work schedule may vary from week to week with a mix of weekdays, weekends, early mornings and evenings. 

 

Duties include but are not limited to: 

raw material handling, brewhouse operations, vessel CIP, keg filling and hauling, yeast harvesting, cellar work, monitoring fermentation (gravity, pH,) keg washing and filling, growler washing, and filling, festival work as a brand ambassador, keeping immaculate records, and lots of cleaning!

 

REQUIREMENTS: prior brewing experience, formal brewing education is advantageous but not required, and a desire to learn and grow with our company.

 

We offer competitive compensation, have health and dental insurance plans, beer and food benefits and use of the company workout facility.
