Greetings!
I am currently underemployed, and have worked the past 4.5 years for two different Oregon Brewers Guild establishments. I am looking to keep my skill set intact and fresh, so I am seeking any Cellar/Brewery Assistant position. I have recently done independent work bottling for Cascade Brewing and Widmer Brewing, Portland. I have been a volunteer or intern at two wineries during crush/harvest production season, with nearly a full year of practical experience at Hip Chicks Do Wine. I have been a homebrewer for 7 years, and volunteer at many of the Pacific NW's premier beer and wine festivals/events. I have attached my resume, so you may peruse my qualifications. I am a 15-year Oregon resident, and want to remain in one of the top five beloved areas of beer culture, if possible!
I have been attempting to get into Seibel or ABG, but classes have all filled. Meanwhile, I know my practical experience and adaptable, quick-thinking character are very compatible with any facet of the brewing industry: malting, brewing, cellaring, bottling, delivery, tap/line sanitation and distribution/merchandising. I am knowledgeable in manual and fully automated keg washers and bottling lines. I am amenible to independent contractor, on-call, and at-will employment. I also possess my (Multnomah) County Food Handler's Card and OLCC Server's Permit, so I am ready to assist you in a tasting room or brewpub environment.
Thank you for time and consideration. Cheers!
