BATCHING TEAM BREWER

You're the Chef Behind Every Batch We Make

Full-Time

Founded in 2014 as a Wisconsin contract brewery, Octopi Brewing has spent over a decade brewing and packaging beer, seltzers, RTDs, and sodas for clients nationwide. In 2024, Asahi - brewers of Asahi Super Dry - acquired Octopi, making us the U.S. production home of Super Dry. Today, our 250+ person team of beverage industry pros keeps that same local, quality-first spirit alive at a state-of-the-art facility.

As a contract brewery, our batching team works across everything we produce - beer, seltzers, RTDs, and sodas - bringing every recipe's ingredients and additives together with precision.

Think of the Batching Team Brewer as the recipe specialist of our operation - measuring, weighing, and combining ingredients and additives for everything we produce, from flavor additions to seltzers, RTDs, and sodas. It's precise, hands-on work that sets the foundation for every product that leaves our building.
