I've talked with some of the employees at a local brewery. One was a brewer(Not sure if Brewmaster or assistant. Or just a guy who brews.) and another employee I was unsure of position. Agreed when I said the industry is inclusive when you are buying beer, exclusive if you want to make it(at a commercial level is the context). One of another brewerys didn't want to hire the brewdude because they didn't want bad blood with a local liquor/beer chain store owner. Shit, a different local brewery didn't hire my brother because he had another job waiting tables somewhere else (the job at the brewery was also for waiting tables). He's down in Florida waiting tables at a very niche, high end restaurant now. So what the fuck does he know? Not like he's been been waiting tables or in the service industry for at least 10 years now. And no, I won't bullshit for internet points. I'd go with /u/IllFatedIPA's suggestion. Start with packaging (most likely bottling line or skid/pallet loading) and work your way up. Honestly, I'd start there then show interest and commitment. Ask how to drive a Hi-Lo, ask what else you can do. Remember, you are trying to go beyond the rest of the people who just love brewin and just loooove beer. You have to be above and beyond that.

Also it may help to take classes. Everybody starts with homebrewing. Everybody loves craft beer. You are nothing special (sorry for the assholishness, just the reality of it). Employers want a reason to throw your resume away. Also check craigslist for hot singlesin your area in the 'Food/ Bev service' area. (sorry, kinda forgot the actual name). Some results may pop up (they did for me, and the cocksucks didn't respond to my email). And defiantly check their websites for job postings. I forgot where I was going with this. I am a tid bit intoxicated. Pls forgive.
