Sleeping Giant Brewing Company is hiring again! We are currently looking for a number of full-time Brewery Team Members. After launching in January, we have enjoyed tremendous growth as the first dedicated contract brewery in the Western United States. This is an unique opportunity to get in on the ground floor of an aggressively growing start up and be the architect of your own career path within the company.

1+ year experience in a production brewery, a Bachelor's Degree in Biology/Chemistry/Food Science, or certification by IBD, Siebel, etc is preferred. We will, however, consider any applicant that is intelligent, driven, and passionate not simply about beer but about working at Sleeping Giant. Our culture is paramount to our success and we require contributing members of the team in this fun, family oriented environment. This is a ground-up organization with an expectation of multi-skilling across the brewery and a focus on safety, quality, and productivity. We are a start up, however one that will produce over 25,000BBL in our first year. This is a chance to work across the brewery, from brewhouse to cellar to packaging and everything in between. Packaging experience is strongly desired. Individuals looking to be a part of the team for the long haul will be given preference and meaningful advancement opportunities are very available.
