Job Description
SanTan Brewing Company is a well-established craft brewery and restaurant located in Chandler, Arizona, within the Phoenix metropolitan area’s East Valley.

Expanding its offerings, SanTan Brewing Company ventured into distilled spirits in 2017, and in 2019 opened Spirit House, a cocktail-driven bar that provides a unique, lounge-like atmosphere and a food menu designed to complement expertly crafted cocktails.
