Job Summary
We are looking for a head brew master to be based in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam to help design, operate, and maintain our brewery, as well as develop all recipes, lead tours, and attend events.
Responsibilities
• Oversee all stages of production including but not limited to brewing, safety, quality, productivity, and reporting
• Wort production
• Management of fermentation
• Cellaring
• Packaging (kegs and bottles)
• Cleaning and organizing the equipment
• Equipment maintenance
• Recipe development and follow through
• Growth and capacity planning
• Scheduling future brews
• Raw materials sourcing, tracking, and handling from international and local suppliers
• Helping to represent the brewery at the taproom, events, festivals, and in the media
Qualifications
• You should have at least three years’ experience in a production brewery with at least a 10 BBL capacity. This should include a solid working knowledge of brewery operations: packaging, quality control, loss prevention, preventative maintenance, ingredients, and inventory. You should also be familiar with the sanitation requirements of a brewery and should be able both to prevent and respond to microbiological activity. While we may take homebrewing experience into account in assessing your creativity, it is not a substitute for the required brewery experience.
• Exceptional working knowledge of the process of brewing beer. You should be able not only to create recognized styles but to use innovative ingredients, techniques, processes, and combinations to create unique beers. You should be able to consistently turn quality raw materials into quality beer and to scale recipes up from small batches to any larger quantity.
• Strong and demonstrated leadership and interpersonal communication skills. You’ll be the head of a team, so the ability to lead by example is essential. Likewise, you’ll need to communicate effectively with brewery employees. Other management experience is a plus.
• A degree from a recognized brewing school in Brewing Science is preferred. We also prefer you to have at least a bachelor’s degree in a field relevant to brewing or brewhouse management, such as chemistry, engineering, mathematics, or biology. The more production brewery experience, the less emphasis we will place on academic qualifications.
