What does a brewer do?

A brewer is responsible for producing beer by overseeing the entire brewing process, from selecting and preparing ingredients to fermenting, filtering, and packaging the final product. They manage recipes, monitor equipment, and ensure that the beer meets quality and safety standards. Brewers may work in craft breweries, large commercial facilities, or brewpubs, and often handle cleaning, maintenance, and record-keeping tasks as well. Their job requires knowledge of brewing science, attention to detail, and a passion for creating unique beer flavors.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a brewer, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Brewer, you need a solid understanding of fermentation science, recipe formulation, and quality control, often supported by a degree in brewing science or related fields. Familiarity with brewing equipment, lab testing instruments, and safety certifications is important for daily operations. Attention to detail, problem-solving skills, and teamwork make someone stand out in this position. These skills ensure consistently high-quality products, safe production processes, and effective collaboration in a brewery environment.

What are some common challenges brewers face when scaling up from pilot batches to full production?

One of the key challenges brewers encounter when moving from small pilot batches to full-scale production is maintaining consistency in flavor, aroma, and quality. Differences in equipment size, water chemistry, and ingredient sourcing can all impact the final product. Brewers often need to fine-tune recipes and processes, collaborate closely with quality assurance teams, and monitor every stage of the brewing process to ensure the end product matches the original vision. Adapting quickly and learning from each batch is essential for ongoing success in a professional brewery environment.

Job description

Dreaming big is in our DNA. It's who we are as a company. It's our culture. It's our heritage. And more than ever, it's our future. A future where we're always looking forward.

We look for people with passion, talent, and curiosity, and provide them with the teammates, resources and opportunities to unleash their full potential. The power we create together - when we combine your strengths with ours - is unstoppable. Are you ready to join a team that dreams as big as you do?
SALARY: $24.35/hour, bonus eligible
LOCATION: Devils Backbone Outpost Taproom - Lexington, VA
SHIFT: (5) 8-hour shifts/week
Shift includes:
  • 1st shift: 6:00am - 2:00pm (Monday - Friday)
  • 2nd shift: 2:00pm - 10:00pm (Monday - Friday)
  • 3rd shift: 10:00pm - 6:00am (Sunday - Thursday)
  • Occasional Saturday

* Shifts may rotate on a quarterly basis and include morning, evening, and overnight. Shift pay differentials during evening and overnight hours.
COMPANY: We are home to the nation's most iconic beer and beyond beer brands, including Michelob ULTRA - America's #1 top-selling beer - as well as Busch Light, Budweiser, Bud Light, Stella Artois, Cutwater Spirits, and industry-leading craft brands. From our longstanding efforts to support American farmers, military, veterans, and first responders, to emergency drinking water donations and responsible drinking programs, we are guided by our commitment to the communities we call home and the 65,000 hardworking Americans who bring our beer to life. We are powered by a team that shares our passion to create a future with more cheers. Are you ready to join a team that dreams as big as you do?
The story of Devils Backbone Brewing Company goes like this: years ago, our founders, Steve and Heidi Crandall, were on a ski trip in the Alps when they tried their first craft beer, a German Weisse at a brewpub & it was like no beer they had ever tasted. So, to satisfy their thirst for a local haunt that served craft European-style beers, they started a whole brewery complete with a full-on brewpub for locals and visitors. It became a place where folks could drink and tell stories about their time on the trail, ski slope, or both.
They named it Devils Backbone; the same name brave surveyors, including Thomas Jefferson's dad, Peter, called this hard-to-summit mountain region almost 300 years ago. Kinda poetic, right?
In 2016, Devils Backbone Brewing Company was acquired by Anheuser-Busch. Since then, we've continued to brew award-winning beers that we're proud of, as well as share our beers with more friends than ever before! And there's your history lesson. In short, we think drinking outdoors together is vital to our happiness as humans. It's why we want every product we make to meet not just our own standards, but the standards of our friends and family. We value our time spent at home in the Blue Ridge Mountains, and we know that it's only home when we're enjoying it with our people. So, if you're ever in Virginia, we'd love for you to join us - stop by the brewery and grab a cold one. We've got a story to tell you.
