Server/bartender

The position of Front of House Server at Gladstone Brewing Co. is an important one, as you are one of the main faces of the brewery. Whether you're filling a growler, serving one of our delicious in-house burgers, or educating people about the difference between Belgian ales, European lagers, and West Coast hop-forward styles - you know people want our food and beer and you're going to help get it to them. From our humble home-brewing beginnings in a garage on Gladstone Avenue in Victoria, BC, Gladstone Brewing Company has since been established as a mainstay of the Comox Valley - a hub of activity, collaboration, and community. Now with many brews under our belts (and a few awards to show for them), we feel like we are still just beginning with new ideas constantly in development. We want team mates who want to share their skills to drive us forward. We enjoy supporting each other, sharing our beer (and story) with the public and getting the job done every day.
