At Buff Brew, our mission is to brew creative, high-quality beer for our taproom as well as for distribution into the market. After weeks of brewing & fermenting, our packaging team is where the rubber meets road, keeping the line running so we can fulfill orders on time. All the care we put into the process can be erased instantly with a lousy packaging run, so we are looking for someone who runs a tight ship & has a hawk-like attention to detail. We seek out intellectually curious individuals who relish the challenge of extremely high standards without getting flustered by the fact that we are constantly improvising and revising the plan based on new information. Our equipment requires skill and knowledge to operate properly, so experience is a must. In addition, our packaging team is critical to our success, so a successful applicant also will fit in with our existing team and support the culture we are developing here. We will accept applications for all skill levels, with a specific goal of considering highly experienced candidates for lead positions.
