It smelled like heaven when I talked to the brewer. Like hoppy epicness! I seriously hope I can refill a growler once a day or something cool. I tried their beer already as well. Bought a spicy IPA or something. Was awesome

There wasnt much room to discuss my pay. It was simply "We are gonna offer you 10/hr" Then she told me what to wear and when to show up. Part of me thinks I should had debated but truth be told I already talked them from 32-40 hours a week to a solid 40. I straight up told them 40 hours a week minimum is an absolute must. Originally at 32-40 hours he offered 11/hr but I think the guarantee of 40 pushed it to 10. I cant say I blame them, like I said I have ZERO knowledge of what to expect. Hopefully I can raise my pay once they see im a kick ass worker

if its a small/local operated brewery with nice people, you'll probably get a raise within like 2 months to 11 an hr. and after that, all you gotta do is apply yourself and who knows, they could expand to a new city and you'll be the new boss

They actually plan to open up a different location with strictly brewing. Maybe they will see potential in me. Ill keep you guys updated to see if its even enjoyable. The guys says brewing is a very focused and silent type of work. He says brewers are known for seeming kind of "cold" but in reality they are just busy as hell.

Week 1 review.
The job....is ....AWESOME. What a fucking lucky scenario man. Its the coolest shit ever. Im doing all the grunt work, but its really fucking neat dudes. I had no idea brewing was so scientific. I had to take 17 pages of notes just to start absorbing everything they are teaching me. Its like working in a lab. I kid you not its like being in "Breaking Bad" I know what I wanna do with my life! I wanna be a brewer someday. So much shit to learn man, but they love me as well. I know if I prove that I am more than capable its an obtainable goal.
Like I said, its mildly shitty that I have to do sweatshop type labor at some points, but there is allot of cool shit too. And im working with BEER! I cant believe I can help make a powerful ass intoxicant and its LEGAL! ITS FUCKING LEGAL! Its the coolest feeling in the world. Not to mention lots of hot chicks and chill people around.
It sucks my pay is so low, but I wouldnt trade this job for double the pay. Its incredible. I now see why there were 3 interviews. There is allot of responsibility. Im working with machines that are thousands upon thousands of dollars. Not to mention there is a constant temptation to dive in a giant brite tank of booze and drink to my hearts content
