Craft Beer Sales Representative - Coastal LA & Orange Counties Job at Pizza Port Brewing Company

Pizza Port Brewing Company Los Angeles, CA

About us…

In 1987, Pizza Port Brewing Company started off as a pizza “port” in Solana Beach, CA featuring a classic menu of pizza with a “San Diego” twist. Early on, free space in the restaurant area was used to dabble in “home” brewing. Eventually, we were brewing more than could reasonably be consumed at “home”. So, we transitioned into the brewpub business. Pizza Port Brewing Company was born when the Pizza Port location offered its first craft-brewed beers to patrons in 1992.

Embracing the same “flavor-driven” principles that made our pizza menu so popular, Pizza Port Brewing Company quickly gained a reputation in San Diego’s emerging craft beer scene. We have since expanded to five brewpub locations winning multiple medals/awards from the Great American Beer Festival. Our newest location in Bressi Ranch, a community located within Carlsbad, CA, houses a brewing facility, brewpub, commissary, and management office. This location has a canning line allowing the company to finally be able to have its core craft beers available on store shelves! Through all the growth and changes the company has seen, what continues to drive our passion and our mantra still rings true:

“Good Food and Good Beer Bring Good Cheer!”
