Beer Adventurer

Ken Grossman started Sierra Nevada in 1980 with a hand-built brewhouse and the odds stacked against him. That passion forever changed the course of American craft brewing and launched a beer revolution that's in full force today. Turns out, good beer can do a lot of good, and Sierra Nevada became a cornerstone for both its innovation and its care for the Earth and its people.

We’re committed to advancing a culture of inclusion and believe diversity in all its forms makes us stronger. We keep pushing boundaries, whether that’s in the brewhouse, with sustainability, or in the great outdoors.

As a Beer Adventurer, working in a fun and fast-paced environment, your mission is to deliver the ultimate Sierra Nevada experience to all, internal and external, guests of Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. You will act as an ambassador for both SNBC and the craft beer industry by providing visitors with tours of our entire facility, as well as educational beer tastings in our tasting room, garden, or via virtual platforms.

We’re committed to our employees and work hard to prove it. For starters, we’re offering $16.90 to $22.17 hourly compensation for this role. Individual offers are based on skills, experience, and qualifications, and geographical location.
But base pay is just the beginning. We support your future by offering a generous 10% company match on 401(k) contributions, providing learning and development opportunities, and fostering your safety at work with ongoing trainings, state-of-the-art equipment, and preventative care. We offer medical, dental, and vision insurance, an onsite medical clinic, as well as mental health and well-being benefits including paid sick leave.
