We are building The Station around a simple idea: great beer, great food, an approachable atmosphere, and a brewery people genuinely want to come back to. The space, equipment, concept and investment are here. Now we need the brewer. This is an opportunity for an experienced brewer who wants more than another production position. You will have the chance to take ownership of a brewing program, help develop our beer identity, create recipes, establish standards and build something from the ground up. We are equally interested in an established Head Brewer or a talented Lead/Production Brewer who is ready to take the next step and run a program of their own.

You will: Develop and refine our core beer lineup Create seasonal, rotating and experimental releases Manage brewing, fermentation, conditioning and packaging Establish brewing SOPs and quality-control standards Manage yeast, raw materials and brewing inventory Maintain brewery cleanliness, sanitation and equipment Monitor fermentation and maintain detailed production records Manage kegging and draft-ready beer production Assist with brewery scheduling and production planning Help source ingredients and manage supplier relationships Work with ownership to develop a beer program that fits both the brand and the market Help build a brewery culture centered around quality, consistency and creativity Who We’re Looking For We’re looking for someone who knows how to make excellent beer and takes pride in the details required to make it consistently. Our ideal candidate has professional brewery experience and a strong understanding of: Wort production and brewhouse operations Fermentation management Yeast health and handling CIP and sanitation procedures Draft and cellar operations Recipe development and scaling Quality control Brewery safety Production planning Equipment maintenance and troubleshooting Formal brewing education is a plus, but real-world experience, technical knowledge and the quality of your beer matter more to us than a particular credential. Leadership experience is also a plus, but you do not necessarily need to already hold the title of Head Brewer. If you’ve spent years brewing great beer for someone else and you’re ready to build a program of your own, we want to hear from you.
