Hello to All:
Hanging Hills Brewing Co in Hartford, CT is looking to hire a new head of brewing operations/head brewer to produce some of the best beer in Connecticut. We make a variety of styles with an emphasis on IPA and IPA variants and our beloved Hills Pils. This is an exciting time for Hanging Hills as we're about undertake a brand relaunch, start up the downtown Hartford Beer Garden season AND open a satellite tasting room later in 2020. 2020 is going to be huge for us and any candidate who comes aboard.
We're looking to hire the best fit, not necessarily the best resume so if you think you have what it takes to run your own shop, we might have the gig for you.

Do you want to own a part of an already existing production facility that brewed just north of 1600 barrels in 2019?
