I agree as most head brewers are underpaid, however I do consider Portland to be an average size city so I think the information is very relevant. I cannot imagine living in NYC and not making at least 60K. Good luck!Mike Jordan

I know of a brewer when he was hired at a brewpub (400 bbls a year) started at between 30-32k. I know of another brewer that started at another brewpub in the same state with production close to 500bbls and he was started off at $10 an hour.
I'll ask a more direct question, what's a fair rate for a brewer at a 500bbl brewpub?Cheers,

Dufus-es! Im trying to raise the bar for all brewers and you pull the rug out from under me! If you start out low (30K) you have no where to go but downhill! Next time a new poster asks a salary question lets show some solidarity ok? Everyone will make more money in the end!Last edited by zbrew2k; 08-14-2005, 08:50 AM.

I'd really like to see how much the chef/kitchen managers are making, and how much profit they're bringing into a brewpub, versus the brewmaster! I know for a fact that during my brewpub days I was getting paid considerably less than the chefs, yet they made much of their profits from the beer I brewed!
Cheers, Tim

Originally posted by newyorknewyorkOur Chef works 60 hours a week. Our Brewer worked 30 hours a week (that is all he needed to work to get the job done). We now have to replace him and probably will offer 40K, plus health benefits.
And even if the only thing your brewer does is make beer, you still have to ask yourself how much money his product makes for you. Last time I looked, living in NYC is an expensive proposition!

to-zbrew2k, Nice try- A brewer is worth as much as a chef on a hourly basis. But IF I wanted to work those hours i'd be a chef.....Brewmaster, Minocqua Brewing Company
