ABOUT ASAHI BEER USA / OCTOPI BREWING

Founded in 2014 as a Wisconsin contract brewery, Octopi Brewing has spent over a decade brewing and packaging beer, seltzers, RTDs, and sodas for clients nationwide. In 2024, Asahi — brewers of Asahi Super Dry — acquired Octopi, making us the U.S. production home of Super Dry. Today, our 250+ person team of beverage industry pros keeps that same local, quality-first spirit alive at a state-of-the-art facility. Our Warehouse team keeps raw materials, packaging, and finished product moving accurately between our facilities, co-packing partners, and distribution — and Shipping & Receiving Associates keep that inventory picture accurate every step of the way.

• Proficiency in Microsoft Office

Nice-to-haves:

• Previous warehouse, shipping, receiving, inventory control, manufacturing, or distribution experience
• Experience with warehouse management systems, ERP systems, RF scanners, or inventory tracking software
• Forklift certification, or willingness to become certified
• Further education in Logistics, Supply Chain, Operations, Business, or a related field

• 120 hours of PTO annually, with accrual that grows the longer you're here
• 9 paid holidays (if they fall on your scheduled workday)
• A free beer after shift, because you earned it
