Taproom service is coming!

Taproom service is coming!

We all knew it was coming, but adapting once again for service indoors will require some time and consideration to offer the safest experience.  Our goal is to be ready for indoor table reservations as soon as Monday July 27th.  Expect another update as systems go live. 

 

The first step however, is to grow our team!

 

As a result of our recent workplace equity plan, preference for this position will be given to a qualified indigenous or qualified racially visible person.

The objective of this job role is to develop candidates' overall knowledge of operations so that customer service skills can be multi-faceted for all business services (brewery tours, table service, retail service, community partner liaison, event staff, logistics support, and other).  Future advancement within the company come with mastering service tasks, operating procedures, enhancing beer/production knowledge and will be evaluated in bi-annual reviews and/or as positions become available.
