Assistant Brewer / Cellar Technician

818 Brewing – Canoga Park, CA

Full-Time | $20–$22 per hour

8one8 Brewing is a family‑owned and operated brewery located in Canoga Park, California. Founded in 2014, we began as home brewers and converted our passion into a business on a 3

BBL brewhouse. With limited self‑distribution and the addition of our tasting room in 2018, we’ve grown into a 10

BBL brewhouse, commissioned our own canning line, implemented a water treatment and lagering program, and expanded our production capacity to 200+ BBLs of tank space.

• Small, tight‑knit production team
• Real responsibility and hands‑on brewing (not just keg washing forever)
