  • Experienced Brewery Rockstar- Denver

    OK Colorado Brewers, who needs some help?! I have 10 years in the craft beer industry, first as a warehouse/delivery manager with Left Hand Brewery and Indian Peaks Distribution in Longmont, and most recently as the site manager for Brewers Supply Group in Denver. I can handle any job in the craft industry, from washing kegs and bottling line operation, to sales and delivery, to inventory control and employee relations, and I even know how to brew beer! I'm looking to stay in the local beer biz, so if you need any help at all, please drop me a line to discuss my unique skill set and be amazed by my non-stop work ethic. Let's get to 15% market share!

    Prost!
