How'd you get to ditch what you were doing previous? i started at the dishpit on the brewpub side of the company with no prior brewing experience at all, moved up to being a sous chef, went from kitchen to bartending, and then eventually got pulled from the front of house to the brewery i talked with the owner of the brewery at length about my passion for beer and how i wanted to get involved with the brewing process when i first started, got my cicerone certification (which isnt much) and been trying to get into the BJCP all the times i talked with the bossman himself he always told me that it was nice to have someone who was working at the brewery/brewpub who actually had a passion for beer and not seeing it as just a job which he really appreciated over time he slowly had the brewers bring me in on days i was off on to learn all the different equipment in the brewery, how to clean brite tanks, moving wort into fermenters, how to work a carbstone to accelerate carbonation in beer, how to run the bottling machine, etc etc bossman eventually sat me down one day and told me my services were no longer needed in the taproom and asked me i wanted to move into the brewery fulltime the hours CAN get shitty sometimes (7am-7pm if we're behind or have a big order request) but most days i usually work 7am3/4pm and it really isnt that stressful some days all we do is bottling, some days i literally do nothing but stand in one place and control the flow and pressure of the water into tanks, clean and fill kegs, clean the fermenters/brite tanks, sit in the lab and do QA (which is basically taste testing), check on the carbonation and againg of our limited bourbon barrel releases, etc etc --- ...
