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. Our Brewhouse team turns raw ingredients into the wort that becomes every batch we brew.
THE OPPORTUNITY
Our brewhouse keeps the entire brewing process moving — turning raw ingredients into finished wort that feeds every batch downstream. We’re looking for a Brewhouse Brewer to help keep that process precise, efficient, and in spec.
WHAT MAKES THIS ROLE GREAT

- Direct ownership of yeast propagation, a critical part of every batch’s success
- Room to grow through our Brewer Career Matrix, whether you’re brand new or bring experience with you
WHAT YOU’LL DO
- Learn, understand, and operate all brewhouse piping and equipment
- Execute efficient brewing operations from raw material intake to finished wort
- Own yeast propagation from start to finish
- Perform routine quality checks, basic maintenance, and CIP on brewhouse equipment and piping
- Keep accurate brewing logs and sanitation records every shift
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
- Basic troubleshooting skills in a brewing or manufacturing setting
- Flexibility to work various shifts and prioritize shifting tasks
Nice-to-haves:
- 2–3 years of experience in a brewing environment
- Degree in Brewing Science/Technology
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)

PAY BY SHIFT
Pay starts at $22.00/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 — $22.00/hr (minimal base rate)
- 2nd Shift — $22.00/hr base + $3.00/hr shift differential = $25.00/hr (minimal total rate)
- 3rd Shift — $22.00/hr base + $4.00/hr shift differential = $26.00/hr (minimal total rate)
- Weekend Day — $22.00/hr base + $5.75/hr shift differential = $27.75/hr (minimal total rate)
- Weekend Night — $22.00/hr base + $7.75/hr shift differential = $29.75/hr (minimal total rate)
