Part-time Bartender
Job Description Idyll Hounds Brewing Company is looking for a friendly, reliable, energetic beertender with open availability to complete our team. Must be over 21 and able to work among a team of motivated servers in a fast-paced environment. Beer and wine serving and craft beer knowledge and food-pairing knowledge is a must for this position.
Our bartender position is primarily focused on our staple and seasonal beers, as well as wines and our small food menu items. Hence 'beer'-tender!
From the quality of the beer & food, to the atmosphere of the dining area and bar and especially the service they receive, a guest's impression of the brewery begins as soon as they walk through the door. Their experience must be excellent.
In addition to the day to day activities, beertenders will be expected to learn everything they can about our food and beers, the production process and craft beer in general. They will be expected to guide guests to beers they would enjoy, and explain the differences between staple and seasonal styles. Knowledge of various beer styles is important, as is knowledge of current trends of the craft-beer industry, including hop, grain and yeast choices.
