Baxter Brewing Company
Sales Representative & Brand CANsultant
Company Description
Located in a renovated, Civil War-era textile mill in downtown Lewiston, Maine, Baxter Brewing Company is one of the fastest-growing breweries in the North East. Baxter was the first brewery in New England to package 100% of its beer in metal containers only (kegs and 12oz cans) and the first to brew more than 5,000 barrels of beer in our first year of business (2011); an achievement which earned us the “2011 New Brewery of the Year” nod from Bevnet Magazine. Currently, Baxter produces 6 commercially-available innovative, west coast-inspired, flavorful American beers–including a line of seasonal varieties, all of which engage natural flavors and ingredients and push the boundaries of their respective styles–and several small-batch and one-off releases.
Having just completed a 400% expansion—which brings our overall annual capacity to 33,000 barrels—we are looking for talented, creative, passionate, and fun teammates who can help take Baxter to the next level.
