  • Packaging Team Member - Baxter Brewing Co. - Lewiston, ME

    Reports to: Head of Packaging
    Location: Lewiston, Maine

    Company Description:

    Located in a renovated, Civil War-era textile mill in downtown Lewiston, Maine, Baxter Brewing Company is one of the fastest-growing breweries in the North East. Baxter was the first brewery in New England to package 100% of its beer in metal containers only (kegs and 12 oz cans) and the first to brew more than 5,000 barrels of beer in our first year of business (2011); an achievement which earned us the “2011 New Brewery of the Year” nod from Bevnet Magazine. Currently, Baxter produces 6 innovative, west coast-inspired, flavorful American ales, including a line of seasonal varieties all of which engage natural flavors and ingredients and push the boundaries of their respective styles.

    Today we are on the doorstep of a 400% expansion—which will bring our overall annual capacity to 33,000 barrels—and are looking for talented, creative, passionate, and fun teammates who can help get us there. Before applying, please take a look at our company’s Core Values (seen here) and make sure you can get behind them. Thanks for considering a career with Baxter Brewing Co.
