  • Experienced Brewer, Lab Technician, and Cellar worker

    If you need someone who is a hard worker, personable, and has well rounded experience, just send me a message. I am willing to work in WA, OR, FL, or CA. I have my own startup brewery but am an industry supporter all the way. Right now I am living in Santa Rosa, CA. I will be moving back to Kent, WA in a week.

Responsible for building a brand name, setting up large brewing equipment, designing website, organizing events, and making quality beer for the critical beer consumer. Before starting a business it is important to remember that even when you are small you should never devalue your product. Meaning, do not offer your product at a lower price to make people happy. People will be happy with a great product and will pay for that product if they value it. Figuring out what they value is how you sell your product.
