Wanted: Job in the brewing industry
January 5, 2010 - 4:44pm
Some of you know the industry fairly well...I'm looking at a potential workman's comp. retirement from the fire department and will need to find something I can do to make up the difference in pay (im allready losing my house over this crap grrr)...
any thoughts? Stone did have an apprentice brewer spot open but right now nothing..and will be a few months yet till I either get better or the city boots me...
Id like to find something fun that I enjoy that pays decent (not rich..just happy)...I have a friend who is an assistant brewer at Miller and all he does is push buttons lol...

dont hijak my thread lol
Are you going to be able to Lift more than 50 lbs. and also spend most of your day standing.
Of course your friend does nothing but pushes buttons, have you tasted their beer?
But serious, the big breweries are mostly automated. But Craft breweries are mostly a manual process with a few exceptions.
Don't expect to get paid a lot of money either.
Keep an eye out with Stone. They have positions from time to time. Most of the time they will hire for the bottling line and then you move over into the brewery operations as needed.
You can also ask Andy to call you whenever he needs help. You can volunteer at BMB or any other Craft Brewery and put that on your resume.
Good luck.
