We’re looking for our next Head Brewer to join Cody Craft Brewing! Tucked just 45 minutes east of Yellowstone National Park, Cody sits on the edge of the Bighorn Basin with the Absarokas rising in the distance. It’s the kind of place where your commute includes open sky and mountain views, and your off-days don’t require much planning, just pick a direction and go. Cody has a strong sense of community and a steady flow of visitors, especially during the summer. It’s a place where you can build a career in brewing and still have the time and space to enjoy why you got into it in the first place. If you’re someone who values both great beer and the kind of lifestyle that’s hard to come by, this is worth a serious look!<br><br><strong>Position Title:</strong> Head Brewer<br><br><strong>Supervisor:</strong> Operations Manager/Owner<br><br><strong>FLSA Status:</strong> Exempt<br><br><strong>Wage:</strong> Salary & Profit Sharing<br><br><strong>Supervisory:</strong> None<br><br><strong>Position Description<br><br></strong>Cody Craft Brewing, Cody Wyoming’s premier brewery and taproom, is looking for a Head Brewer to join and continue its success and growth in the Wyoming craft beer scene.
