Holy Crap!

[DeRoux's Broux]

well, i have been lucky enough to have the head brewer's at Saint Arnold and Two Row's in Houston to send a referal letter on my behalf to Palisade, but still no response. they could at least have the cahonies to tell me "Thanks, but no thanks.....".

so, i applied for a cellar/asst. brewers spot at Great Divide in Denver.......

even a blind squirrel finds a nut, right?

 

[The Happy Mug]

Dude, don't sit and wait! Call them up and let them know you're interested. Ask if they've fulfilled the position yet. You've got to stay on companies to get the job if you want it.

 

[DeRoux's Broux]

well, i did e-mail again (to save on long distance) and Tim (the head brewer) e-mailed me back and said he was very busy the last two days, appologized for not getting back w/ me and said he would call me today......
so, the way i figure, he coulda told me "no" via e-mail right? maybe i at least get to go out and meet them??????

 

[drengel]

yeah still sounds promising, good luck. if you do get to go up and happen by durango pm me and i'll give you a brour (brew-tour) of my little piece of beer heaven.

 

[DeRoux's Broux]

sure will. thanks!

Wicked! Good luck man.

 

[Baron von BeeGee]

Nothing to be nervous about...just relax and tell him what you know!

 

[DeRoux's Broux]

not so much nervous about the interview, but the actual possibility i may be actually doing this!

 

[Truble]

Best of luck!

The way I see it, it's better to have options than not and makes for a more interesting life than not having options at all. Your nervousness is really just well-placed excitement.

 

[DeRoux's Broux]

i am excited, that's for damn sure. just trying to picture it.......riding my mountain bike to work, w/ the grand mesa in view, clean air, fresh micro brew.........

free range lentil soup, mmmmmmmmmmmm

clean air

Can a person actually breath that stuff without 100,000 PPM of hydrocarbons in it? What's SWMBO think about all this?

Too true, too true. I am getting really bored of my job, and I have a new prospect in Bristol that could work for me....time for a change??

Hope it goes your way DeRoux. Good luck again!

 

[DeRoux's Broux]

What's SWMBO think about all this?

no comment

it may get hairy around here if the opportunity presents itself in full view. she has a job she likes, doesn't want to leave mommy and daddy, etc.

we'll see......

 

[4day4me]

Wow, brewing for a living...

He did say assistant brewer right ? Only thing they'll have him doing is cleaning

Just kidding

Good Luck !!

You'll be the envy of us all

 

[Truble]

Hey- if that could be my FT job, I'd scuba into the trub and clean with a toothbruth....

 

[DeRoux's Broux]

it is an assistant brewers spot, but it also involves brewing. they are a pretty small operation (just 5 all together, 20,000 bbl/year) so they stay busy. which means, i'd get a lot of experience on a little bit of everything. good situation....

but, i haven't heard anything from them in a couple days.

 

[Baron von BeeGee]

Plus, the asst. brewer seems like the natural succession for head brewer, although I don't know how these things work in practice.

 

[DeRoux's Broux]

usually. and tim has been around. southern cal, houston, new orleans,.....

just a pipe-dream....

 

[Truble]

Do plumbers have pipe dreams too?

shi*ty ones!
