Craft Brewery Job
    #21695882 - 05/18/15 08:21 PM (8 years, 8 months ago)

So I got a second interview for a Craft Brewery Job. Anyone have any experience brewing or this line of work? Only brewing experience I have ever had was when I was a teen a poisoned myself by setting a jug of welches grape juice in my basement with a balloon over it and got seriously fucking ill for 24 hours

You should had smelled the fucking rotten yeast I was vomiting up and shitting out my ass.

if you are really interested and not just a basement barfer of the welches...then you will succeed at anything

you want to brew? then brew

all i saw was your hate being catholic thread title

can't blame you

people involved in organized religions seem to be getting it wrong all over the world right now

maybe all the world's leaders should make them all cook a meal together in the middle of nowhere for 2 weeks, and join them

it would be a great reality show...maybe our last :smile:

its fun. if you get in with the right people you can make a name for yourself as a brewer. sounds like a great career if you ask me.

You have no brewing experience so you won't be doing anything that involves making beer. What position are you interviewing for? Most likely they'll throw you on the bottling line which will be just as bad as any factory job. Either that or a bus boy in the brewpub. :tongue:

I definitely got drunk, but I was sooo fucking sick. It wasnt a hang over either. It ended after 24 hours but I have no idea what the fuck I drank toxin wise. It stank so fucking bad. I kid you not rotten yeast coming out of both ends, it smelled fucking horrible

Anyone have any ideas for what may had gotten me sick?

Ya I turned it down. I felt bad just accepting it only to fuck them over in a month when I find another job.

To me it sounded fun. I would had gotten a golf cart to ride in and walkey talkies :snowman:

I got a third interview! Now I have to meet with the brewer who I am gonna be working under. Im so excited man, assuming he likes me I should be hired. Both the head brewer and the owner of the brewery really liked me. Im so fucking excited man. I miss working so much. Being a lazy, penniless dude who sits at home all day is depressing as fuck.

Yeah I'm in Atlanta and the market is pretty competitive here as well. I think I'll land it though. I'm generally pretty good in interviews. I'm just tired of being a broke bitch and having my girlfriend keep my afloat while I figure shit out because frankly, she's broke as fuck too. :sad:

I got the job! The pay is horrible, but for a guy who has ZERO experience in the brew industry at least its a foot in the door! Ill be working under one of the brewers. It sounds like an opportunity to gain some experience in this....which I really need since all I can do is cook a bad ass pizza. Its full time too, so at least there is that, and bankers hours with my weekends off

20800 a year. Or 10/hr. I seriously have no idea why there were 3 interviews for a job that pays so low. All that was missing was a lie detector test :bored: Still I am very happy. I cant stand staying at home anymore, its driving me nuts. A man can only play so much counterstrike, drink so much tea and use so much tobacco before he gets depressed as hell man. HURRAY ME!

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.

Re: Craft Brewery Job UPDATE [Re: Adolin]
    #21739144 - 05/29/15 11:00 PM (8 years, 7 months ago)

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" :lol: 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 :bottledup:
