Brewer

About Us:

Roses by the Stairs is an independent, family owned craft brewery located at the intersection of the Roosevelt and Encanto neighborhoods in Downtown Phoenix. Since 2022, we have been producing high quality lager, ale and wild beer with an emphasis on excellence in ingredients and methodology. Our beers include everything from funky saisons and sours to modern IPA and traditional lager. Situated in the historic building that housed Easley’s Fun Shop for over 70 years, we aim to continue the tradition of a family business with a strong community focus. Our small, dedicated team is the heart behind our beer and the personal connections we foster in our space.

We are currently seeking a talented and motivated brewer to join our team. The ideal candidate is hardworking, reliable, experienced, passionate about excellence in craft beer and works well with other members of a small team. This role is as a full time brewer with the intent to transition into a lead brewer role in the late Summer/Early Fall. We are entering our 3rd year and undergoing moderate and manageable growth focused on self distribution and taproom sales. Our team is small and our roles are dynamic but employee well-being and positive company culture are an unwavering priority.
