Job Description

JOB OVERVIEW

Who are we? We are Shaketown Brewing, a small craft brewery operating for 2.5 years in the bustling Shipyards Brewery District. Our mission is to produce high-quality, easy-drinking beer in a safe, inclusive space and have fun doing it. While our sense of humour might be up for debate, our beer isn’t.
