We are looking for a new brewer/cellarman with lab abilities to join our small, hardworking team. While passion, skill and a strong work ethic are musts, this person must also be fun and enjoyable to work with.
If successful, this job places you in beautiful Norwegian surroundings, and can include extensive travel to many places for festivals and other brewery-related events if every day tasks in the brewery are completed to a high standard.
Responsibilities:
• Responsible for following Standard Operating Procedures and maintaining high quality standards in all areas of beer production.
