Copperworks Distilling Company of Seattle is looking for a well-rounded individual to become an assistant distiller and help out a day or two in the tasting room. Why is this relevant to the people who read this beer blog? Because Jason Parker, the co-founder of Copperworks, says that he’s looking for someone with brewing experience. Job description and requirements below.
“We want this person to have brewing experience, rather than distilling experience,” says Parker. “Why a brewer and not a distiller? Because we distill a high-quality mash, made more like a beer than the “mash” most distilleries make. And, we want someone who understands the importance of working hard, keeping everything spotlessly clean, and being part of a team. Plus, we don’t want to have to un-train sloppy distilling behavior. We’d rather train how to distill than how to brew and CIP.”
