Prep Cook - Seasonal

Sapporo, a pioneering name in the brewing industry, has been instrumental in shaping the beer culture of Japan since it brewed its first beer in 1876. Over the years, it has grown to become the number one selling Asian beer brand in the United States, largely due to the immense popularity of its flagship product, Sapporo Premium. In a strategic move to strengthen its position in the U.S. market, Sapporo acquired Stone Brewing in 2022. Established in 1996, Stone Brewing is celebrated for pioneering the West Coast Style IPA, playing a crucial role in the modern craft beer revolution. Together, as Sapporo-Stone Brewing, the company stands among the 15 largest breweries in the U.S., operating production facilities in Escondido, California, and Richmond, Virginia, as well as managing seven Stone Brewing taproom and bistro locations. United by a passion for brewing excellence and innovation, Sapporo-Stone Brewing continues to build a legacy rooted in quality and customer satisfaction.
