We are currently seeking a Barback to join our team at the Union Taproom. This role is essential for ensuring the smooth operation of one of our busiest locations. The barback position is fast-paced and requires a motivated individual who thrives in a team environment and is passionate about delivering outstanding service to every guest. The Barback acts as the backbone of the bar, maintaining the flow of beer, replenishing glassware, and ensuring that bartenders are fully equipped to provide excellent service during peak times. This is an hourly position paying $10 plus tips, offering a valuable opportunity for those interested in gaining hands-on experience in the brewery and hospitality industry.

In this role, you will be responsible for a variety of tasks that support bar operations, including changing kegs, stocking coolers, and keeping draft lines clean. You will help bartenders during rushes by restocking supplies, running ice, clearing glassware, and anticipating their needs without being asked.

A genuine interest in craft beer and an appreciation for Braxton Brewing's story will help you connect with our brand and our guests, enriching the overall experience for everyone involved. If you are eager to join a fast-moving team and contribute to the success of a well-respected brewery, this barback role at Braxton Brewing Co.'s Union Taproom is a great fit for you.
