Brewer/Cellarperson needed at expanding coastal NC brewery!

[ccbcbrewer.rmm]

Looking to get your feet wet in the North Carolina craft brewing industry? Crystal Coast Brewing Company is looking for a brewer to operate our 7 bbl brewhouse in Morehead City, NC, just a few minutes drive from the taproom in Atlantic Beach. Whoever accepts this job will be brewing in Morehead City under the (mostly) remote supervision of the head brewer in Rocky Mount, so a self-starting attitude, attention to detail, and open communication skills are a must for any potential candidate. There are many other members of the organization working in and around Morehead City, however, so you will be far from lonely.

Crystal Coast Brewing Company is a family-owned business currently undergoing an expansion into a new facility as well as new markets. We produce a wide range of beers including ales, stouts and porters, lagers, wheat beers, and sours in both classic styles and newer variants. We are always looking to try something new. Our mission is to provide North Carolina’s Crystal Coast and Piedmont regions with the highest quality beer possible.
