Brewery Apprentice

Steelbound Brewery & Distillery
Ellicottville, NY

Brewery Apprentice

Steelbound Brewery & Distillery is a destination brewery, distillery, and restaurant in Ellicottville, NY, focused on handcrafted beer, spirits, and a welcoming, “sense of home” guest experience. We are looking for a hands-on Brewery Apprentice to join our production team and learn the craft from grain to glass in a fast-paced, high-volume environment.

What You’ll Do

  • Assist with brewhouse operations: grain handling, milling, and basic wort production under the direction of the brewer.
  • Support cellar work: tank cleaning, beer transfers, dry hopping, monitoring fermentation, and recording gravity and pH readings.
  • Help with kegging and packaging of beer for the taproom and distribution, including stacking, labeling, and palletizing.
  • Maintain a clean, safe, and organized brewery by cleaning floors, drains, tanks, kegs, hoses, and other equipment daily.
  • Safely handle chemicals, hot liquids, and pressurized vessels while following Steelbound’s SOPs and safety protocols.
  • Assist with inventory of raw materials and finished product as needed.
  • Deliver products from our main site to designated locations based on route schedule.

What We’re Looking For

  • Strong interest in craft beer, spirits, and learning the brewing/distilling environment; prior homebrewing or production experience is a plus.
  • Able to regularly lift 50–55 lbs, move kegs, climb stairs, and work on your feet in hot, cold, and wet conditions.
  • Detail oriented, reliable, and able to follow written and verbal instructions and maintain accurate logs.
  • Team player with a positive attitude who communicates well and takes pride in cleanliness and quality.
  • Must be 21+ and available for a flexible schedule including some early mornings, evenings, weekends, and holidays based on production needs.
  • Valid drivers license and clean (or acceptable) driving record.

What We Offer

  • Opportunity to learn the full production process in a brewery and distillery setting with room to grow into more advanced roles.

To apply, send your resume and a brief note about why you’d like to join the Steelbound production team to [email protected] or drop it off at 6600 US-219, Ellicottville, NY.
