Description:

  ASAHI BEER USA | OCTOPI BREWING  

Waunakee, Wisconsin  

From Local Brewery to Global Brand — Right In the Tanks  

ABOUT ASAHI BEER USA / OCTOPI BREWING  

Founded in 2014 as a Wisconsin contract brewery, Octopi Brewing has spent over a decade brewing and packaging beer, seltzers, RTDs, and sodas for clients nationwide. In 2024, Asahi — brewers of Asahi Super Dry — acquired Octopi, making us the U.S. production home of Super Dry. Today, our 250+ person team of beverage industry pros keeps that same local, quality-first spirit alive at a state-of-the-art facility. We continue to brew/batch many styles of beer, seltzer, and soda in addition to Asahi Super Dry. Our cellar department alone is 30 brewers strong, running production around the clock across five shifts. 

THE OPPORTUNITY  

Octopi's cellar team keeps a 24/7 operation moving — and as the U.S. home of Asahi Super Dry, that operation is only getting bigger. We're adding brewers across all five shifts to keep pace with real, sustained growth. 

WHAT MAKES THIS ROLE GREAT  

• We invest in where you're headed — clear career pathways, planning, and goal setting to help you get there 
• Direct, hands-on work with fermentation and cellar operations 
• Join a 30-person cellar crew that knows the products and processes inside and out 

WHAT YOU'LL DO  

• Manage yeast pitching, fermentation, conditioning, filtration, dry hopping, and dealcoholization
• Keep tanks, lines, and cellar equipment clean, sanitized, and running smoothly (CIP) 
• Track batch data and flag anything that looks off before it becomes a problem 
• Work shoulder-to-shoulder with your shift supervisor and teammates to hit production targets 

WHAT YOU BRING  

Must-haves:  

• Comfortable on your feet for a full shift in a loud, temperature-varied production environment 
• Reliable, detail-oriented, hard-working, and safety-first 

Nice-to-haves:  

• Prior brewing, food/beverage production, or manufacturing experience 

BENEFITS & PERKS  

• Medical, dental, and vision coverage — effective the 1st of the month after 30 days 
• Company-paid life, short-term, and long-term disability insurance 
• 401(k) eligible after 3 months, with company match — 100% up to 3%, 50% on the next 2% 
• 120 hours of PTO annually, with accrual that grows the longer you're here
• 9 paid holidays (if they fall on your scheduled workday)
• Eligible for annual company performance bonus 
• A free beer after shift, because you earned it 

CURRENTLY HIRING FOR  

• 2nd Shift | Monday – Thursday | 4pm – 2am — Openings available
• Weekend Day | Friday – Sunday | 6am – 6pm — Opening Available 
• Weekend Night | Friday – Sunday | 6pm – 6am — Opening Available

PAY BY SHIFT  

Pay starts at $22.00/hr - $26.00/hr based on experience, with growth up to $34.00/hr through our tiered Brewer Career Matrix — whether you build that experience here or bring it with you , already brewed. Shifts outside of 1st shift include an additional shift differential on top of that base — never a lower starting rate, just added pay for the shift. 

• 1st Shift — $22.00/hr (minimal base rate) 
• 2nd Shift — $22.00/hr base + $3.00/hr shift differential = $25.00/hr (minimal total rate) 
• 3rd Shift — $22.00/hr base + $4.00/hr shift differential = $26.00/hr (minimal total rate) 
• Weekend Day — $22.00/hr base + $5.75/hr shift differential = $27.75/hr (minimal total rate) 
• Weekend Night — $22.00/hr base + $7.75/hr shift differential = $29.75/hr (minimal total rate)
