Tank CIP, transfering beer, warehouse work, canning etc... Ideally the right candidate will be capable of wort production and lab work as well.
The quality of life here is excellent given all the opportunity for outdoor recreation. If you are into the outdoors and this is one of the best places to live and to brew.
