Job Description

ASAHI BEER USA | OCTOPI BREWING

BATCHING TEAM BREWER

You're the Chef Behind Every Batch We Make

Full-Time

ABOUT ASAHI BEER USA / OCTOPI BREWING

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.

THE OPPORTUNITY

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.

WHAT MAKES THIS ROLE GREAT

• The most recipe-driven role on our production floor — precision and ingredient know-how are your bread and butter

• Hands-on work across our full range of products — flavor additions, seltzers, RTDs, and sodas

• Room to grow through our Brewer Career Matrix, whether you're brand new or bring experience with you

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Learn and operate all associated batching equipment, including CIP and manual cleaning of equipment and piping

• Follow recipes and production steps with precision, weighing, measuring, and handling ingredients and additives

• Prepare and add flavorings, additives, and other ingredients accurately across our full range of products

• Communicate and coordinate with Cellar, Inventory, and Scheduling teams to ensure products are completed efficiently and on time

• Keep batching documentation accurate and complete, and perform pre-batching quality checks

• Produce in-spec product every time, following safety protocols and SOPs

WHAT YOU BRING

Must-haves:

• Comfortable standing for extended periods and lifting 55 lbs / moving 165 lbs as needed

• Strong organizational skills, attention to detail, and time management

• Flexibility in working hours

Nice-to-haves:

• 1–2 years of experience in a brewing or production environment

• Degree in Brewing Science/Technology

• Basic troubleshooting skills in a brewing or manufacturing setting

BENEFITS & PERKS

• Medical, dental, and vision coverage — effective the 1st of the month after 30 days

• Company-paid life, short-term, and long-term disability insurance

• 401(k) eligible after 3 months, with company match — 100% up to 3%, 50% on the next 2%

• 120 hours of PTO annually, with accrual that grows the longer you're here

• 9 paid holidays (if they fall on your scheduled workday)

• A free beer after shift, because you earned it

CURRENTLY HIRING FOR

• 1st Shift | Monday – Thursday | 6pm – 4pm — Opening available

PAY BY SHIFT

Pay starts at $24.00/hr - $26.00/hr based on experience, with growth up to $34.00/hr through our tiered Brewer Career Matrix — whether you build that experience here or bring it with you, already brewed. Shifts outside of 1st shift include an additional shift differential on top of that base — never a lower starting rate, just added pay for the shift.

• 1st Shift — $24.00/hr (minimal base rate)

• 2nd Shift — $24.00/hr base + $3.00/hr shift differential = $27.00/hr (minimal total rate)

• 3rd Shift — $24.00/hr base + $4.00/hr shift differential = $28.00/hr (minimal total rate)

• Weekend Day — $24.00/hr base + $5.75/hr shift differential = $29.75/hr (minimal total rate)

• Weekend Night — $24.00/hr base + $7.75/hr shift differential = $31.75/hr (minimal total rate)
