There are still lots of open positions. Let's find the one that's right for you.
At Deschutes Brewery, we unapologetically make a lot of award-winning, damn tasty beer (over 250,000 barrels per year)! We are currently looking for Brewing Interns to join our team at our facility in beautiful Bend, Oregon! Our Brewer Internship Program has been developed to seek out the next generation of brewing leaders. Providing a unique opportunity to aspiring brewers from all backgrounds the experience of working in one of the largest craft brewery production facilities in the country. This position includes but is not limited to cleaning and sanitizing tanks, dry hopping, yeast management/analysis, wort production/analysis, bottle conditioning, beer clarification, pub brewing, sensory training and oak aging production. Ideal candidates will be available to work a full time schedule (36-40 hours per week) for a 6 month internship starting in the Summer of 2025. Typical schedule is three, 12 hour shifts per week and will include day shift, night shift and some weekends. Brewing is a tough but rewarding career. There are often long hours, with very physical work in a variety of temperatures. But, as brewers, we are tasked with creating liquids that inspire, satiate, and bring joy to the drinker. Our work is important. We create liaisons. Liaisons that bridge the end of the workday with play, spur new relationships and deepen existing. Liaisons that bend newness to comfort, stress to relaxation and differing opinions to productive debate. All that, plus, don't forget we create liquids that excite the taste buds and turn meals into feasts. However, unpacking how we accomplish all this reveals significant effort. The hours are long and the work is hard. It's a physical process and the best beer can only be made if the ideal schedule for the beer, not the brewer, is followed. We need someone with a strong work ethic, attention to detail and a curiosity and openness to improve not just the products and process but also themselves.
