We’re looking for someone with a strong ability to multitask, solid attention to detail, and must be eager to learn, listen, and ask questions. A positive attitude is a must. Sound fun? Good! These weekly tasks will be determined by the Head Brewer and will depend on the Production Schedule, which changes all the time, so get ready for a super-fast paced environment.

At least 1-2 years of experience in a Production Brewery, or a formal brewing education is preferred. Also, if you’ve made it this far, then we’re already assuming that you are passionate about local craft beer and have a somewhat strong background in brewing and raw materials. Good. Keep reading.

A little bit about Lost Winds Brewing Company: Lost Winds Brewing Company is just about to celebrate its two-year anniversary. We are a local craft beer gem that specializes in Belgian-style beers, but also has beers for all walks of life. We currently have 14 taps in our taproom including light ales, Belgians, pale ales, IPAs, dark ales, and sours. We are very community based and pride ourselves in supporting the local community. Family is everything to us, so we are also the only brewery in San Clemente that is both kid and dog friendly. We hope that you’re pumped and super interested in joining the Lost Winds Brewing Company family. Aloha friends!
