About The Role
Malibu Brewing Company is a family-owned craft brewery rooted in Southern California. We brew out of our production facility in Westlake Village, and are about to open a pilot brewery at our new location in Agoura Hills. With two breweries in operation, we are looking for a skilled Brewer to help us grow. In this role, you will join a four-person production team alongside our Brewmaster, Head Brewer & Lab Manager, and Cellarman. Award-winning beer is the standard here and we are looking for someone who takes pride in the art & science of brewing, follows a disciplined process, and aims to join a team that supports one another.
What You'll Do
- Run full brew days independently, including milling, mashing, lautering, boiling, and knockout, hitting target gravities, volumes, and timing batch to batch.
- Manage fermentation and cellar work: yeast pitching and harvesting, temperature control, dry hopping, transfers, and tank turnarounds.
- Pull samples and run quality checks (gravity, pH, dissolved oxygen, sensory) and log results to keep every batch consistent and on-spec.
- Operate, clean, and CIP brewhouse and cellar equipment, following strict sanitation and safety protocols.
- Support packaging, including kegging, canning, and carbonation, so finished beer leaves in peak condition.
- Keep accurate production records and flag process or equipment issues early to the Brewmaster.
- Collaborate on recipe development and pilot batches as we develop new beers and refine the lineup.
What You Bring
- 2+ years of professional brewing experience in a production brewery.
- A formal brewing education or credential (e.g., Siebel, American Brewers Guild, IBD) or an equivalent science background in chemistry, microbiology, or food science.
- Working knowledge of brewhouse and cellar operations, plus the sanitation and quality fundamentals that keep beer clean.
- A team-first attitude, strong attention to detail, and reliable communication.
- Physical capability for the job: lifting up to 55 lbs repeatedly, standing for full shifts, and working in wet, warm, or cold conditions.
- Flexibility for early starts, occasional weekends, and the rhythm of a working production schedule.
Bonus Points
- Hands-on experience with cellar yeast management or lab/QA testing.
- Mechanical aptitude for troubleshooting pumps, valves, glycol, and CIP systems.
- Forklift certification or packaging-line experience.
- A genuine passion for craft beer and the curiosity to keep learning.
Why Join Us
You Will Brew For An Organically-grown, Coastal Brand With a Reputation For Award-winning Beer, And You Will Do It With a Small, Collaborative Crew That Genuinely Loves The Work. We Offer
- Competitive pay of $60,000 – $75,000 based on experience.
