Alaska Pacific Beverage Company (APBC) is seeking an experienced Production Manager – Brewery to lead beer production for our ~20,000 BBL/year operation in Anchorage, Alaska.
This is a production leadership role intended for candidates who already understand brewery operations at a professional level. The ideal candidate has deep knowledge of brewing, cellar, and packaging operations and can step into brewing decision-making when required.
If you do not understand brewing operations, fermentation management, and production realities, this role would not be the right fit.
