Vanish Farmwoods Brewery is a 53 acre farm located north of Leesburg, VA and is a popular destination for beer lovers. As a result we are looking to add a member to our brewery team. Candidates should be physically capable of the usual brewery stuff in a 10 barrel manual brewery, you know-- lifting, squatting, moving kegs, and shoveling hot mashes. But most importantly, you must love making beer. I mean really love the process, even more than the product itself. Some experience is preferred, though we are willing to train the right candidate who may have little or no professional experience.
Vanish's menu ranges a broad perspective. From NEIPAs, fruited sours, and dry hopped lagers to "on point" classics. We have a barrel program, as well as a fledgling mead, wine and cider program. Some interest and experience in this area is beneficial. We welcome avid homebrewers and enthusiasts.
This is an mid level position. It involves keg washing, cleaning, moving kegs and stocking inventory, operating a Wild Goose canning line, as well as draft line maintenance. It is a great position for someone with 1-3 years worth of introductory brewing experience. Attention to detail is the key to success. You must be able to work on a team, and eventually with minimal or no supervision. Forklift operation is required. A clean driving record is required as well, as some deliveries in our van may be necessary. Pay based on experience, $18 - $22 hourly paid weekly.
If this sounds like the gig for you, please drop me a line with your resume and references to larry at blackhopsfarm.com We'd like to hear from you. Then, we can schedule a visit at our farm in Lucketts, VA.
