About The Position

Join our passionate community brought together by our love for great beer, cider, craft cocktails, and the process that makes it all happen. Quality is our thing, and so is staying curious—always learning, evolving, and pushing to get better at what we do. We’re fired up by the people who enjoy our pours and the teams that make it all possible. If you’re into collaboration, craft, and being part of a tight-knit crew, we’d love to raise a glass with you. Artisanal Brewing Ventures (ABV) is a top 10 regional craft alcohol company in the US, made up of 5 long standing, successful craft brands (75+ combined years!): Victory Brewing, Bold Rock Cider, Sixpoint Brewery, Southern Tier Brewing & Southern Tier Distilling. We have locations in 5 states (NY, PA, OH, VA, NC) including taprooms, production facilities, & our corporate headquarters. At Victory, we’ve always believed that great beer comes from a deep respect for the craft. That spirit inspired our decision to join Artisanal Brewing Ventures in 2016. By partnering with a community that shares our values and supports the behind-the-scenes work—like marketing, operations, and finance—we freed up our brewers to do what they do best: focus on the art of brewing. The result? More time, more creativity, and more opportunity to craft the innovative, flavorful beers that have defined Victory since the beginning.
