About The Lagunitas Brewing Company - Heineken
There's a seat at our bar for everyone
Welcome to the wild and wonderful world of Lagunitas, where we take our beer seriously—but not ourselves. If you’re looking for a buttoned-up corporate gig with boring reports and soul-crushing Zoom meetings, you’ve taken a wrong turn. But if you’re into bold brews, bigger ideas, and a work environment where "casual Friday" is every day, then pull up a barstool.
We’re on the hunt for like-minded misfits who push the boundaries of what makes a good beer legendary. Positions range from brewers to bartenders, marketing magicians to sales wizards. And yeah, there’s probably a role that’ll let you use “beer enthusiast” as a legit job skill. We’re on the hunt for folks who aren’t afraid to roll up their sleeves, spill a little (or a lot) of beer, and bring their best selves to the table. If you can handle a fast-paced, beer-fueled environment and laugh in the face of “the way things have always been done,” we want you.
So, if you’re looking for a job where you can be yourself, talk beer all day, apply now! We don’t bite. (Except for Gary in the back. But he’s working on it.)
