I'm thinking of starting a "temp brewer" service, providing experienced brewers to brewpubs and micros for short-term contract work. I'm thinking of situations where the brewmaster needs a vacation, or is sick, or has left employment suddenly without replacement.
Initially, I guess I'd be the "temp brewer", as I'm a brewer with six years experience in both brewpubs and microbreweries. I've even had experience in this area, having spent a couple of months helping one brewpub recover from a disastrous hiring mistake (they promoted a dishwasher, gave him four weeks training with their departing brewmaster, and in four months time it seems he never cleaned a tank!!!).
I'd hope for more serene circumstances, of course!
What do you think? Is there much of a market for a temp brewer service?
Cheers, Tim
