Brewer - Malibu Brewing Company

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.

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.
