  • Green Cellar Person looking for entry level position in Los Angeles

    Charlie M. Ramirez (213)-256-7367 | Char.m.ramirez@gmail.com | Los Angeles, 90020
    Finished an Assistant Brewer Program 3 months ago, been looking for a position since. Came across this website and I'm hoping this will increase my chances at landing one. As I stated in the title, I'm green. I'm confident in my abilities to get up to speed at any brewery. I just need a brewery to take a chance on me. I'm not forklift certified, but that's something I plan to get as soon as I have enough for it. I'd also like to go back to school, once I'm acclimated at a brewery, and get a degree in biochemistry. I'm even willing to relocate. Don't have much money, but I do have a car. Willing to sleep in my car till I have enough for a place. I'm that serious about getting into this industry. There's nothing else I'd rather do.

    I started drinking craft 6 years ago and I started homebrewing 3 years ago. I went to my local homebrew shop and took a homebrew class. That same day I bought a kit and began my journey into the wonderful world of homebrewing. Sadly, in the 3 years of brewing, I’ve only brewed about 10 batches: Porter, West Coast IPA, Pale Ale, Kolsch, NEIPA, Black IPA, and Milk Stout. I brewed a pale and an IPA multiple times. Time and money have been the reason for not brewing consistently. I already have a list of recipes I want to brew. I even bought beersmith to help me put recipes together.

    About less than a year ago, I realized I wanted to take brewing more seriously. I wanted to apply at breweries, but I had no luck due to no experience. It’s always the same, I can’t get the job due to lack of experience, I can’t get the experience without the job. That's when I found out about Cal Poly’s assistant brewer program. A program designed to give you hands-on Brewing Industry experience. The beer we worked with is beer that was being put out to the public, so I knew I had to do my best and not mess anything up. It took me awhile to save up to afford said class, but I’m glad I invested in myself. From the very first day, I knew this is what I want to do and where I want to be, career wise. From my homebrewing experience I knew cleaning is the biggest part of brewing, so spending all day cleaning doesn’t faze me. I’ll start anywhere, and if that means the bottom and working my way up, so be it. My goal, in this industry, is to become a proficient brewer, take that skill and brew in different parts of the world. My main destination is Japan. That’s not to say I wouldn’t stay at one brewery for 5+ years.
