Packaging Operator / Cellarperson Phase Three Brewing Company — Lake Zurich, IL
ABOUT US
Phase Three Brewing Company is an independent craft brewery based in the Chicago suburbs. We opened our doors in 2019 and have grown into one of the most recognized names in Midwest craft beer, known for world-class hazy IPAs and a serious barrel-aged program. We currently operate two taprooms — Lake Zurich and Elmhurst. Our Lake Zurich facility is home to our full production and packaging operation, and we self-distribute across Chicagoland and regularly ship beer around the country.
THE ROLE
We're looking for a motivated, detail-oriented person to join our production team in a dual Packaging Operator and Cellar role. This is a hands-on position that keeps our production floor moving — you'll work alongside our Packaging Lead on canning and kegging days, and support our cellar team with tank operations, fruit dosing, centrifuge work, and general cellar maintenance. If you're someone who wants to learn how a craft brewery actually runs from the inside out, this is a great place to build that foundation. You'll report directly to our Packaging Lead and work closely with the cellar and brew teams.
