Careers at Burnside Brewing

At Burnside Brewing we’ve always been guided by that no-nonsense ethos: Work hard, have fun, and most importantly, make great beer.  Locating the brewery and first taproom in the decidedly un-hip Burnside Industrial Park is a perfect example of how we like to do things. Being trendy was never the point. It’s always been about a commitment to quality and consistency in brewing approachable beer. Beer our valued customers want to drink, crafted the way it should be.  

We embrace diversity, equity and inclusion across all our operations and foster a respectful and inclusive work environment. Individuals that represent a variety of backgrounds, perspectives and skills are encouraged to apply.  If your experience looks a little different than what we’ve identified but think you can rock in this role and want to be a part of our dynamic team, we’d love to learn more about you!
