JOB DESCRIPTION & EXPECTATIONS Big things are brewing on Shrewsbury Street at Wormtown Brewery! Our Wormtown taproom is getting a full glow-up, and we’re building a team ready to bring all that new energy to life!

As a Taproom Bartender, you’ll be one of the first faces guests interact with in our newly upgraded space. You’ll pour fan favorites like Be Hoppy, introduce guests to taproom-only releases, share brewery stories, and help create the warm, lively, community vibe that keeps people coming back.
