DC Brau Brewing Company in Washington, DC, is seeking an experienced, enthusiastic, and highly-motivated Sales Manager to join our Marketing and Sales Team and represent our brand in Maryland.
Since our launch in the spring of 2011, DC Brau Brewing Company has become a competitive regional brand in the DC/MD/VA craft beer market. As we grow, we are looking to increase our sales management staff to support the DC Brau brand in the local marketplace.
