Getting a job in a Local Brewery (Halifax)

[bizarromarc]

Hey Everyone.

I just moved to the east coast and I'd love to take my homebrew hobby to a professional level. Can you give me any help as to getting a job in a brewery in Halifax? People i should talk to etc. I've worked in 3 brewpubs giving tours, and tastings, and I'm trying for my full cicerone certification and of course I home brew. So i can talk the talk, now i want to walk the walk. Any help is appreciated

Welcome to the region!

What type of job are you looking for? Brewer, server, bottling line guy?
Drink their beer, get to know each brewery's styles.
Check out their websites to get an idea of their philosophies and attitudes, as being a brewer is just like any job: interpersonal drama can make a "dream job" a shitty place to work.

My suggestion would be to drop by the breweries in town with a resume and a sixpack of your homebrew (if you are hoping to brew), and chat with the manager or owner.

FBTs comes to mind.

Inside joke for those that don't know.

And Yellowbelly in St John's, if you feel like relocating even further...
