Job description

Armistice Brewing Company is excited to add an experienced Brewer to our tight-knit production team. At Armistice, we operate with an “all hands on deck” mentality: every brewer is responsible for brewing, cellaring, packaging, and warehouse work — including deliveries and pickups of product and ingredients.

This role offers the unique opportunity to gain wide-ranging experience across the brewing process instead of being cornered into the same repetitive tasks. One week you might spend more time on the brew deck, the next you could be cellaring, canning, washing kegs, or handling logistics. It’s varied, dynamic, and always fresh.

We are looking for someone who shares our passion for thoughtful, fresh beer and thrives in a collaborative environment. The ideal candidate can balance multiple priorities at once, shifting seamlessly between tasks while maintaining accuracy and attention to detail. Prior brewing experience is ideal, but not required — we’re willing to train the right candidate with a go-getter mentality, strong communication, and a commitment to safety and cleanliness.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities:

• Wort production: milling, mashing, lautering, boiling, whirlpooling, and knockout
• Cellar operations: yeast handling, monitoring fermentations, dry hopping, fining, and keg washing
• Packaging: kegs, cans, and bottles — including keg washing and QA checks
• Warehouse work: ingredient and product deliveries/pickups
• Setup and tear-down of hard and soft piping assemblies
• Carbonation, QA checks, and preparation for packaging
• Perform CIP/SIP, preventative maintenance, and general housekeeping
• Maintain accurate brewing logs and follow SOPs
• Represent Armistice Brewing Company at the brewery and off-site events

Bona-fide Job Requirements:

• At least 21 years old
• Valid driver’s license with clean driving record
• Flexibility to work varied shifts with advanced notice (e.g., early mornings, some weekends and evenings)
• Ability to multitask in a fast-paced environment
• Forklift certification not necessary, but willingness to obtain certification from an OSHA-compliant program is required

Physical Requirements:

• Regularly lift and carry up to 55 pounds (e.g. grain bags, cases of beer)
• Occasionally maneuver kegs up to 160 pounds (with assistance or proper equipment)
• Frequent bending, stooping, pushing, lifting, kneeling, and reaching
• Must be able to stand for the entire shift, up to ten hours
• Consistently able to use repetitive hand and wrist motion
• Work with hot, cold, and hazardous equipment and materials
• Climb stairs several times a day
• Frequent washing of hands
• Comfortable working in a noisy, industrial environment
