Nice! That would be a great part time job as a "learning experience".
duty #3 is quality control of finished product...
I'm so applying for this, time to get off my lazy arse.
Good man! Best of luck!

Yes, the person doing this will learn alot. It's hard labor. 90% cleaning and 10% brewing.
I'd be very interested to even know a big brewery's cleaning procedures, chemicals used, etc. All very valuable info.
As a brewer's assistant, I'm assuming you would be privy to some interesting techniques, quantities of grain, hops, etc....and of course tasting the brew throughout the entire process...very very valuable info.
I would seriously consider applying if I lived in Fredericton and was only working part time.
When Picaroons was hiring last summer, I was talking with Sean Dunbar about it and he found a lot of people either had a romantic view about working at a brewery or they had a lot technical knowledge and didn't work out.

Yeah I figure the 90/10 split pliny was talking about will mess up most people...
... though seriously, how many of us have done an all-grain brew-day and not realised that most of the actual effort is cleaning stuff :P
I considered applying, and I could list manual labour / making boxes as experience, as well as an obvious interest in beer... however, I figured I better just finish my da*m thesis. John: good luck.
Kyle, this far along you should at least finish your thesis. :)
You could just drop your thesis and start crawling inside dirty tanks and scrub like a mofo hours at a time almost everyday.
iI remember when we went on the brewery tour, they had just bought the automatic bottling machine. They told us before they bough it they had a 100% turnover of people hired to do the bottling. New employees would show up, bottle a few batches by hand and quit cause it sucked so much.
I can't imagine doing that all day
yea almost as bad as writing a thesis
I still think Kyle should finish his thesis, not that I'm trying to reduce the competition for the position or anything like that. ;)
