Entering into our eighth year of business, Cultured South Fermentation company, makers of Georgia’s first and finest kombucha brand, Golda Kombucha have embarked on an exciting journey into the world of Farm-to-Fermentation with our new location that includes a full scale brewery, taproom, event space and farmlet just minutes away from downtown Atlanta.
Known as the Atlanta Utility Works, the cutting-edge brewery is a 1800’s former farm equipment factory turned food and beverage manufacturing facility with a large taproom and adjacent farm growing herbs and fruit to flavor the fantastic ferments like kombucha produced on-site in our new East Point headquarters.
We’re looking for a head brewer to join our team and spearhead the daily production of Golda Kombucha, Cultured South healing elixirs and fermented experimental beverages.This position reports to the owner and founder of Cultured South, a 100% women owned and self-funded business located in the metro Atlanta, Georgia area.
At Cultured South we pride ourselves on authenticity and innovation. The head brewer will be responsible for keeping up with the demand of our loyal customers we’ve cultivated over the past eight years. You’ll hear first-hand feedback from them in our taproom and get to know their preferences and them as community members too. You’ll experiment with farm fresh herbs we grow on site along with functional plants and teas we bring in from regional suppliers by the pallet load. We’ll expect you to be a self starter and proficient in all aspects of production management including overseeing 3-4 staff members especially on canning days. Knowledge of plants, teas, fruits and ingredients is helpful but not essential. Experimenting and creating new flavors is the highlight and fun part of the job!
The ideal candidate has a technical background or a technical mind as sometimes those skills are required in problem solving machines and equipment used in the brewery such as our canning line, brite tanks and glycol chiller. It would be helpful if you are an organized and regimented individual but we do have support in the way of an Operations Manager and Food Safety Analyst to help in those areas as well. The initial training of the job will be following our SOP manuals and learning our processes, as the role grows we would expect you to mandate and update new processes that improve the overall efficiency and productivity of the brewery.
This is a full time position at a full-scale yet craft brewery. You’ll be in charge of producing 800 - 1,000 gallons of kombucha weekly along with multi-tasking like cleaning kegs, CIP of tanks, brewing the tea or “wort” and monitoring/logging the fermentation tanks.
Setting brewing schedules and production timelines will be mandatory as we have seven flavors of kombucha as well as CBD infused kombuchas. Maintaining inventory, fulfilling distribution purchase orders and customer demands while upkeeping our standards in quality will be top priority for this role. You’ll be creating pallets of packaged product, kegging product, moving pallets of product in and out of walk-in coolers so this job is definitely hands-on and requires you to lift 50 lbs or more.
What’s coming down the pipeline? Right now we are a non-alcoholic beverage company, however, we have exciting production goals on the horizon such as hard kombucha, wild fermented beers and kegged cocktails. This position would initiate all or some of these products for the company. It is truly an exciting time to join our growing team as the creative bounds are limitless as we pursue our dreams of fermented products that heal our community.
The ideal candidate is comfortable with working production facilities including breweries, warehouses and factories. The right person for this job is not afraid to strap on their boots and get dirty. Requirements of this job entails a "can-do, will-do" attitude and team player mindset. We're a small team and everyone appreciates all the hard work it takes to make a small business flourish! So let the kombucha flow and come see what we're all about!
