Hello,
First sorry if this is not the correct place to post questions like this, but I figure I would give it a try! I looking for some advice...
I am 26 and I have been home brewing for about 7 years now. I work in IT right now and even though there is good money in it, I dont know if I want to do this for the rest of my life. I guess my question is how to get started in commercial brewing...
more specifically...
1. I was planning on just going to a bunch of local breweries and simply asking if they need help in the brewery on the weekends or evenings, would you recommend this or just look for a formal job opening? What kind of skills should I have? Is a formal education needed or could I see about working my way up?
I have been reading books, and doing alot of research but I figure I just need to get out there.
Ideally I want to open up my own nano-brewery very small scale and work up from there, but I want to get more familiar with the commercial brewing industry.
Thanks...
