  • Brewer for West Sixth Brewing, Lexington, KY

    About West Sixth:
    West Sixth Brewing is a craft production brewery and taproom in Lexington, KY. We’re growing (fast), and more importantly having a lot of fun doing it!

    We're adding another member to our fast growing team. As always, when we hire, we’re looking for someone who is interested in growing right along side the business, and is looking to join a company for the long term. Passion, attitude, and how well you’ll fit into the team are always the most important things we look for, as we’re all going to be spending a lot of time together!

    We also believe that businesses should be measured not only by their financial success but also by the good their do for their community. Each decision we make, we weigh not only how it will affect the business, but also how it can better the community that we live in. From our choices to focus on green design inside the tap room, to our selection of cans for distributing out beer, to our commitment to give 6% of all net profits back to other community organizations, we try to live our values in every decision we make.
