NOW HIRING: GENERAL MANAGER

Odyssey Beerwerks | Arvada, Colorado

Great Beer. Great People. No B.S.

Odyssey Beerwerks is looking for an experienced, motivated, hands-on General Manager to lead our taproom operations and help write the next chapter of our story.

We're an independently owned Colorado craft brewery that's been doing our thing since 2013. We've built a reputation for a quality-driven, diverse beer lineup, a proudly 21+ taproom, a dog-friendly atmosphere, and a team that genuinely gives a damn.

Now we're looking for someone who shares those values.

This isn't a corporate management position, and we're not looking for someone who simply wants to manage a schedule and collect a paycheck.

We're looking for a leader. A problem-solver. Someone who takes ownership, builds a strong team, and makes a good business even better.

The Position

As General Manager, you'll oversee day-to-day taproom operations, lead our front-of-house team, coordinate events and promotions, and work directly with ownership to drive continued improvement.

This is a hands-on position with meaningful responsibility, autonomy, and the opportunity to make a real impact on a small, independently owned business.

Key Responsibilities

Leadership & Taproom Operations

· Recruit, train, schedule, coach, and develop the front-of-house team.

· Oversee daily taproom operations, service standards, and guest experience.

· Manage labor costs, inventory, ordering, and operational expenses.

· Maintain high standards for cleanliness, organization, safety, and operational efficiency.

· Address challenges proactively and hold yourself and your team accountable.

· Monitor sales performance, identify opportunities, and help drive taproom revenue.

· Collaborate with ownership and brewery leadership on planning, priorities, and business improvements.

Events, Marketing & Community Engagement

· Plan and coordinate taproom events, promotions, food trucks, and community activities.

· Maintain an organized events and promotional calendar.

· Oversee routine social media activity and customer engagement.

· Work with ownership and outside creative resources, as needed, on marketing materials and campaigns.

· Identify opportunities to increase brand awareness, customer loyalty, and taproom traffic.

Who We're Looking For

Our ideal candidate brings:

· Management or leadership experience in hospitality, craft beer, restaurants, or a related industry.

· Strong organizational, communication, and problem-solving skills.

· Experience leading teams, managing schedules, and maintaining accountability.

· An understanding of labor management, inventory, budgets, and operating costs.

· A customer-first mindset and a commitment to delivering great experiences.

· Initiative, sound judgment, follow-through, and a strong work ethic.

· The ability to work independently while collaborating with ownership and the team.

Craft beer knowledge is required, but leadership, character, accountability, and a willingness to learn matter even more.

Additional Skills That Would Set You Apart

Experience in any of the following areas is highly desirable:

· Social media marketing and content creation.

· Graphic design and promotional materials.

· Canva, Adobe Creative Suite, or similar design tools.

· Website updates and management.

· Marketing strategy and promotional campaign development.

These skills are not required, but candidates who bring them may qualify for additional responsibilities and higher starting compensation within the advertised range.

Compensation & Schedule

· Annual base salary: $50,000–$60,000, depending on experience, qualifications, leadership capabilities, and the scope of responsibilities.

· Expected 40-hour workweek, including one regularly scheduled solo beertending shift (negotiable).

· Opportunity to earn additional tips from eligible solo beertending shifts, in accordance with applicable law and company policy.

· Flexible scheduling, with some evenings and weekends required.

· Initial performance review at 90 days, followed by a six-month performance and compensation review.

· Opportunities for professional growth and increased responsibility.

Benefits include:

· Very flexible schedule

· Unlimited Paid Time Off (PTO)

· Simple IRA or Roth IRA with matching up to 2% (opt in)

· Paid holidays include New Years Day, Memorial Day, 4th of July, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day, and others depending on current workload

· Employee discount on beer, merchandise, etc.

Our Philosophy

At Odyssey, our core values aren't just words on a wall.

· Be Real. No B.S.

· Own It. Every Time.

· Reputation Matters.

· Relentless Progress. No Excuses.

· Give a Damn.

If those resonate with you, we should probably talk.
