Summary of Position:
This is a leadership position with 1487 Brewery to manage our breweries. We have a new brewpub opening in Plain City (on the Dublin, OH border, outside of Columbus, OH).

This position is part of the management team, responsible for brewery operations on site with occasional cross-management duties in other areas including Kitchen and Restaurant.
The right candidate will have experience in brewing operations and a passion for traditional German style Lagers and Ales as well as supporting the entire operation.
