Brewer

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.

•          Health insurance.

•          Paid time off and paid holidays.

•          A hands-on role with real ownership of the beer and room to grow alongside our Brewmaster.

•          A culture built on craft, pride, and teamwork, with no egos and a shared focus on the highest-quality beer.
