COMPANY BACKGROUND
East Rock Brewing Company is a family owned start-up brewery located in the East Rock neighborhood of New Haven, Connecticut. At East Rock, we use time-honored methods and imported ingredients to produce pure and crisp German-inspired beer. Painfully slow to make but a pleasure to drink, our beers undergo a prolonged and labor-intensive fermentation, resulting in an uncommon depth of flavor and natural effervescence. Fresher than an import and more approachable than a typical craft, our beers are designed for drinkability, but never at the expense of taste. It’s the ultimate everyday companion and the perfect reward for an honest day’s work.
East Rock prides itself on its positive company culture, where team members are valued for their efforts, enthusiasm, and commitment to quality and continual improvement. We anticipate opening our 26K square foot facility including a family friendly 3K square foot beer hall in mid-2018 with self-distribution of our three year-round brands beginning shortly thereafter.
JOB DESCRIPTION
The brewery and packaging operator will be a generalist, responsible for executing a multitude of daily tasks in the brew house, cellar, packaging area and warehouse. This position requires exceptional time management and communication skills, the ability to multitask, high attention to detail and an uncompromising commitment towards quality and improvement. As one of the first hires in the brewery, this position comes with potential for upward mobility.
