Join our team!
Maybe it’s a faux pas to say beer isn’t the most important thing at Presidential. Does that make us bad brewery people? Eh, possibly. But, truth be told, the beer comes second for us. The primary focus in our world is people, and the experience they have when they’re with us. We take “by the people, for the people” seriously, and it’s our goal to make Presidential Brewing Company a place that is truly for. the. people.
We don’t just mean our guests, though. At Presidential, we’re passionate about creating an environment that makes work fun, engaging, and fulfilling. A place where you feel at home and your coworkers are your family, and no – we don’t care how cheesy that sounds. A place where employees are empowered to take ownership of their role, where suggestions and ideas are truly heard, and where hard-working, high-performing superstars are rewarded accordingly. Whether you’re the head chef or a line cook, a lead brewer or a keg washer, we consider you a leader – and you’re a critical part of our team.
“If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more, and become more, then you are a leader.”
John Quincy Adams

Personality is key for us. Experience is preferred in all areas, but for the right person, we’ll take the time to teach you what you need to know. If you have 25 years of serving experience, but it would be more fun to get on the phone and try to cancel our cable subscription, it’s probably a no from us. If you haven’t figured it out yet, experience is everything at Presidential. We want to have a blast working together, and we want our guests to leave your table already planning their next visit because of YOU.
