Join the Brewing Team at Short’s Brewing Company – Elk Rapids!

Do you geek out over hops, yeast, and the art of craft beer? Dream of brewing world-class beer in the heart of Northern Michigan? Short’s Brewing Company is looking for a Production Brewer to join our Elk Rapids team and help us keep the beer flowing!

As a Production Brewer, you’ll be hands-on with every part of the brewing process — from grain to glass. You’ll collaborate with our talented team to craft consistent, high-quality beers that meet our production goals and uphold Short’s standards of awesomeness.

This is a full-time, active, and rewarding role in a fast-paced brewery environment — ideal for someone who’s detail-oriented, safety-minded, and passionate about making great beer.

What You’ll Do:

  • Brew beer according to established recipes and production schedules.

  • Manage raw materials — track, organize, and rotate grain, hops, and yeast.

  • Monitor fermentation, quality, and temperature control.

  • Keep detailed brew logs and communicate with the cellar and QA/QC teams.

  • Maintain a clean and organized brewhouse (because cleanliness = quality!).

  • Follow all SOPs, safety protocols, and quality standards.

  • Pitch in with training, process improvements, and new ideas to make our beer (and our brewery) even better.

What We’re Looking For:

  • 1–3 years of professional brewing experience preferred.

  • Strong attention to detail and commitment to quality.

  • Ability to lift 75 lbs, climb ladders, and work on your feet all day.

  • Solid problem-solving skills and a can-do attitude.

  • Willingness to work flexible hours (occasional weekends and long brew days happen!).

  • A true passion for craft beer and the community that comes with it.

Perks & Benefits:

  • Competitive pay and full benefits package (medical, dental, vision, 401k + match, PTO, life insurance, and more).

  • Free Beer

  • Tuition reimbursement & professional development opportunities.

  • A supportive, fun, and passionate team that loves what they do.

Schedule:

Full-time | 35–40 hrs/week |

Location:

In person at our Elk Rapids Production Facility
