CAREERS | Hub Town Brewing

Join Our Brewery Family!

POSITIONS AVAILABLE ARE SHOWN BELOW...

BEER STEWARD Part Time/Full Time/Casual/Seasonal:

Hub Town Brewing is looking for part time/casual/seasonal, energetic, highly motivated self starters, who will be authentic Hub Town ambassadors, working to ensure our customers enjoy an incredible beer experience each time they walk through the door.

If you join our brewery family in Okotoks, the heart of the beautiful Alberta Foothills, you will be a part of helping build our culture and creating a community around the beer we are immensely proud of.

If you haven’t already, read our BLOG post, “So you want to work in a brewery.” We want YOU to be confident that Hub Town is as much a fit for you as you will be for us. Our culture is as important as our beer and we won’t cut corners on either one. Personal integrity, strong people skills and innate kindness are prerequisites for every position we offer.

As part of Hub Town's family you will need to be a hard worker, able to be on your feet for long periods of time, strong enough to manage kegs or other heavy items in the brewery and are willing to wear as many hats as needed during your shift.

A few hats you will be wearing during your time with us:

Server – Besides providing excellent customer service, you need to be knowledgeable about craft beer and how important a clean glass and perfect pour are to the beer experience. You are able to recommend a beer style to customers when they are unsure of what to order and can explain the style being recommended in as much detail as the customer needs and wants. You will be filling flights, pints, growlers and crowlers...so you will need to know what each of these are. Hub Town takes serving beer even one step further and will require that you take and pass the Cicerone Server course prior to starting! But so long as you put in 500 hrs with us, we will reimburse you for that training.

Taproom Attendant – You will keep close tabs on the taproom by wiping down tables and collecting empty glasses frequently, sweeping and mopping floors as needed and tending to the bathrooms on a proactive frequency.

Quality Control – In any brewery quality control program it’s important to have a collection of people that can detect on and off flavours in a beer as well as provide feedback on new recipes so we can ensure we are putting out the highest quality product possible. This means YOU will be called upon to taste test the beer on an as-needed frequency! Tough job right?!

Delivery Driver – we have a beer delivery program and you may on occasion need to have your own transportation and a valid drivers license to help deliver beer to our customers and kegs to commercial clients.

Beer and Brewing Educator – as a Beer and Brewing Hub, our customers will come in with questions about the beer we brew and the brewing process. The more you know, the better you will be at wearing this hat. A willingness to learn is a huge plus.

Event Planner – occasionally you may be asked to help coordinate, plan, facilitate or even help come up with interesting events to hold at the brewery.

Brewery Representative - there may be times when we need you to travel to events and serve samples and engage people who may want to know more about us!

Besides those hats, you will use the point of sale system/cash register for all types of purchases, answer customer questions both in person and on the phone and stock shelves with inventory as needed.

Merchandise / Brew Shop Attendant:

Hub Town Brewing is looking for part time, energetic, highly motivated, self starter, who will be an authentic Hub Town ambassador, working hard to ensure our customers enjoy their shopping experience with us each time they walk through the door.

You will be:

Super friendly and helpful, especially with newbies, having a genuine desire to help others find what they need when they visit. It can be intimidating going into a homebrew store for the first time so your job is to first help put the customer at ease and then take the time to walk through the brewing steps so the customer understands what they need to get started;

You know what you’re talking about when it comes to brewing. You will have at least homebrewed (hopefully at an advanced level), so that you can help the customer find solutions to their brewing challenges, even recommending a source for finding what we as a mini-brew shop do not offer;

You're passionate about brewing and might even want to start a homebrew club, or hold competitions and brew-offs to keep our local home brewers engaged in this fun hobby! You'll want to work as a team to create a strategy for growing into what brewers need from us by paying attention and bringing new ideas to the table;

And, you're going to make sure all of the ingredients in house are fresh and not expired so that customers get the best possible goods to start their brewing adventures with, of course keeping track of inventory and loss.

You will need to be physically capable of both being on your feet for long periods of time as well as lifting 55kg bags of malt. You will also have an approachable, friendly personality while being well versed in the brewing process, so that you can answer questions regarding brewing equipment and recipe needs.

You will have your proserve certification because you will be taking payment for beer consumed onsite by visitor as well as selling off-sales in the merch shop, along with Hub Town merchandise, and brew supplies using POS;

You will Stock / Inventory of all merchandise and brew supplies (keeping us up to date when more is needed);

You will keep the merch shop clean and tidy, folding of clothing, dusting merch and doing general housekeeping related to the shop;

And more...but we will figure that out as we go!
