Assistant Brewer needed at rural Northern VA brewery
We have an opening for an experienced Assistant Brewer at our very exciting new farm brewery, Vanish, in Loudoun County, Virginia. We opened in December and have been met with a great response, so now we are looking to add to our team. We are located in the village of Lucketts along the Potomac River, between Leesburg, VA and Frederick, MD (about 45 mins west of DC). We are located on a 53 acre farm where we will focus on brewing featuring ingredients grown on the farm and surrounding areas. We have a 10 BBL system and a large tasting room and event space - a beautiful rural setting to work in. We have a fledgling sour and barrel program. Experience in farming, horticulture or microbiology is preferred. We expect our assistant brewer to participate in the creative process, and become a leader on projects that best fit their specialty. Ability to both lead and to follow when called upon is important. This position will be called upon to lead projects and to collaborate with the head brewer and other guest brewers and collaborators. Our brewery is very open to our tasting room, so personality and ability to interact with guests and bar staff is important. This will be a very unique place, and a very exciting opportunity for the right candidate.
Responsibilities for this position include:
• Responsible for entire brewing process including: brewing, cellaring, and packaging
• Cleaning/ sanitizing tanks and other equipment
• Kegging and keg cleaning
• Quality Control, including determining yeast viability and pitch rate.
• Accurate record keeping
• Participation in events and festivals
Preferred candidates for this position possess:
• Experience as an assistant brewer for 2 years or applicable degree
• Local candidates are preferred, we like you to have ties to our area other than a job
• Physical strength to lift 55 lbs repeatedly
• Possess a mechanical aptitude and strong troubleshooting skills
