Brewery Representative (Wine Jobs: Vineyards & Cellars )

  Harpoon Riverbend Taps and Beer Garden

  New Haven, Connecticut

Harpoon has over 300 employees who understand that making great beer fun can be more challenging – and more rewarding - than it seems.  We do things a bit differently here; different from other companies in general and different from most of our fellow brewers. Different in this case does not mean more complex or harder to understand. Because we also believe in being simple and straightforward. We have a very short list of ‘philosophies’ that underline how we run our business:

• Treat others as we would like to be treated ourselves. 
• Work like an owner and think like a customer. 
• Make great beer and revel in it or as we say to the rest of the world: Love Beer. Love Life. 
• We love the beer we brew, and we love drinking it together. We’re looking for people who share a commitment to excellence and a sense of humor to join our growing team.
