About Wachusett Brewing Company
Wachusett Brewing Company was founded by three college buddies who developed a significant appreciation for craft beer during their adventures of camping, biking, canoeing, and hiking around New England. Armed with a “we can do this” attitude, the three cast off from the careers in engineering and biology to pursue their passion to make great craft beer in their hometown.
They started brewing at one of the founder’s family farm in our hometown of Westminster, MA. After eventually draining the family well they were “encouraged” to find a new home, which they did, and it is still our home to this day.
Wachusett continues to pursue its passion for making great craft beer with a wide variety of ales and lagers that are still made with the same “we can do this” attitude that started the brewery over 27 years ago.
Today we have grown to include a tap room in Westminster and Worcester. In addition, we co-pack for some of the Northeast’s premier brands.
At Wachusett Brewing Company, we strive to build a diverse workforce through equal-opportunity employment. This job description is only a summary of the typical functions of the job and not intended to be an exhaustive list of all job responsibilities, tasks and duties. EOE/M/F/D/V
