Baxter Brewing Company
Business Operations Manager
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. Before applying, please take a look at our company’s Core Values (seen here) and make sure you can get behind them. Thanks for considering a career with Baxter Brewing Co.

Complete details are outlined in the Baxter Employee Handbook.
