Shipping/Receiving Assistant na Summit Brewing Company

Description

Way back in 1986, before craft brewing was even cool, Summit Brewing Company Founder and President Mark Stutrud set out in St. Paul, Minnesota, to make craft beers inspired by old-world brewing traditions and ingredients. More than 35 years have passed since he first brewed our flagship Summit Extra Pale Ale, and it’s safe to say he freaking nailed it.

Today, Summit continues to infuse traditional recipes with modern ingredients from around the world, crafting high-quality and consistent craft beer out of respect for the hardworking folks who enjoy our beer.

And because we’re independently owned and operated, we get to make craft beer our way. That means relying on natural carbonation, protecting the foam, and celebrating the true dance between malts, hops, water, and yeast. It means protecting the environment, supporting the community and the arts, being kind to animals, and always having one more beer with our friends and family even if we’re already late for rotary club. It means drinking our beer fresh and cold, because warm storage damages good beer. And it means never settling for “good enough,” always pulling the goalie when we’ve got a chance to win, swinging for the fences, and never, ever forgetting where we come from. Grain country represent.

SUMMIT’S CORE VALUES

RESPECT THE CRAFT: Making great beer takes more than barley, hops, water and luck. It takes talent, skill and experience. From the people who make up our team to the ingredients we use in every brew, we select the very best and threat them with the respect they deserve.

NEVER SETTLE FOR “GOOD ENOUGH”: In our quest for the perfect pint, we continually push to find a better way or a new idea, blending tradition with innovation. We go the extra mile because the hard-working folks who make, distribute, serve and enjoy our beer deserve the best.

BUILD LONG-LASTING RELATIONSHIPS: From our earliest days, we’ve known that getting to know each other over a great pint of beer is more than good business; it’s what really matters. Building partnerships and friendships with co-workers, distributors and communities that stand the test of time is our not-so-secret ingredient.

CELEBRATE TOGETHER: We work hard together and we celebrate together. Whether the wins are big or small, we celebrate the everyday moments that make our team and community great.
