    Assistant Master Brewer Job Description for Napa Smith Brewery

    Creating handcrafted award-winning beers, Napa Smith is the only production brewery located in the Napa Valley. While we are a small independent brewery, our story is linked to the very beginning of the craft beer movement. All of our beers are “Brewed for Food” through our balanced use of roasted malts and aromatic hops, and we believe they should be invited to the dinner table just like a bottle of fine wine.

    We are proud to feature the beers of America’s most experienced craft brewer – Don Barkley. Don started making craft beer in 1978 at the New Albion Brewery, America’s first new independent brewery since Prohibition. He went on to help found Mendocino Brewing Company, and during his 25 years there as Master Brewer, Don became an icon, creating such legendary beers as Red Tail Ale and Eye of the Hawk Select Ale.

    We have a unique opportunity for the right candidate seeking to advance their brewing career. Our culture reflects the fun and excitement of making great beers but never loses the focus that good business practices support the craft brewing lifestyle.

    The Napa Smith Brewery is focused on ACTION! Leadership style is direct and efficient. Leaders are evaluated based on performance and are expected to set objectives, demonstrate leadership and management, and take a hands-on approach. Individuals who outperform their peers are perfect candidates for growth and promotion.
