I interviewed for a job at a local brewery not too long ago. I must say it was disappointing. I'm currently an unemployed engineer with a controls & project mgmt background. For some reason I thought a job there would be cool.
I was thinking there would be some level of process monitoring, be that mashing or with fermentation, maybe some simple automation.....
........Ahhhhh NO, a very, very big no. I was so wrong about that. Boy was I stunned. I should have known because brewing is mostly about cleaning.
(Not intending to sound arrogant) I have come to the conclusion that small scale commercial brewers only have blue collar jobs. Unless you are the headbrewer/owner. I felt so naive after that.
At least got two business cards, both good for a beer at the local pub & eatery.
If you run a micro, I'd like to hear your thoughts.
