Brewer: Adroit Theory Brewing

Location: Purcellville, VA, USA

Type: Full-Time

Work Time: Flexible, but typically Monday through Friday

Reports To: Directly to Owner Operator

Brewery Size: 10BBL, 2-Vessel Direct Fire Deutsche Beverage System with 10 + 20 BBL Fermenters, and some smaller vessels

Compensation: Hourly, based on experience and relevant qualifications

Work Environment: Adroit Theory does not have air-conditioning in the brewing facility

Job Summary:

Adroit Theory is a small brewery opened in 2014 that always strives to make interesting, unique, and boundary pushing beers. We have brewed over 1,200 distinct beers, and regularly brew new recipes + concepts. 

We brew at our main location in Purcellville, VA, but also contract brew at various locations. For our inhouse brewing, we focus on brewing styles of beer that we do not contract brew. This includes light + delicate, too-style classic beers such as Lagers, Saisons, ESB and Kölsch. We also brew several big + high ABV beers including Stouts, Barleywines, and Wheatwines. We also brew or condition a LOT of experimental + non-traditional beers with various adjuncts ranging from Oreo Cookies, Soft Serve Ice Cream, Fruit Puree, Squid Ink, Seaweed, and everything in between.

We are not a traditional production company, and the position is not “shift brewing”. We are a small company with a hands-on Owner who works directly with our Brewer on creative projects. Part of the job is brewing + refining existing recipes, and the other part is creating + developing innovative new beers across a large variety of styles, often with atypical ingredients.

The Brewer handles all of the responsibilities related to final beer production, from the receiving of raw materials to the delivery of finished packaged beer. It includes new recipe development, all brewing, cellaring, brewhouse operations, yeast handling, cleaning, and packaging. 

Responsibilities:

• Plan, operate and handle all aspects of the 10 BBL on-site brewing operations. This includes raw materials handling, cleaning, brewing, cleaning, cellar work, cleaning, brewery sanitation, cleaning, and packaging. Oh, and did we mention cleaning…and organizing.
• Maintain all production areas including equipment
• Track and maintain accurate inventory of raw materials and supplies.
• Keep accurate and organized daily production records
   

Required Skills:

• Working knowledge of brewing processes, brewery science, and quality control
• Prior professional brewing experience at a comparably sized/style brewery preferred. Will consider advanced homebrewing/semi-pro experience
• Work in hot/cold/wet environments that require twisting, bending, and pulling
• The ability to work on your feet for extended periods of time, and easily lift 55 pounds
• Periodic handling of hazardous chemicals
• Use a ladder, forklift, pallet jack, etc.
   

Bonus Skills:

• Mechanical, electrical, or plumbing experience with ability to maintain/repair standard brewery and packaging equipment
• Formal brewing education is preferred, but not required
   

Address: Adroit Theory Brewing, 404 Browning Ct. Unit C, Purcellville, VA 20132

Fans, Friends, and Family of Adroit Theory,
 

It is with a heavy heart, and great sorrow that we announce the passing of our beloved Head Brewer, Bryan Younger, aka Doctor M. His sudden, and untimely death was devastating news to the staff, and we trust to everyone who knew or interacted with him on a daily basis. 
 

We would like to extend our most sincere condolences to Bryan's family and friends, many of whom we got to know fairly well over the course of Bryan's time with Adroit Theory.  We share your grief, and are here for you in this time of mourning.
 

Bryan started as Adroit Theory's  Assistant Brewer. He came from an incredible home-brewing background, and quickly honed his skills helping us craft new beers. As he brewed more he continued to elevate our craft to new heights.
 

His talent and passion for brewing mind-blowing beer was rivaled by few and admired by many.  From the darkest of stouts, to his recent resurgence in classic style beers, Bryan was there for all of it.  He was a truly dedicated individual that brought his A-game to every project and challenge that his career set in front of him. 
 

He was loved and respected to no end by our staff, our customers, and his industry colleagues.  His presence at the brewery, and in our lives, will be sorely missed. It is particularly painful that as we just celebrated our 8th year in business that we would lose our longest tenured employee & friend who served faithfully for over 7 years. 
 

In light of these tragic circumstances, we are closing the Brewery today (Monday 3/28) to have a day where the staff can reflect on their time with Bryan, and share camaraderie. Please join us as we raise a virtual toast to our friend and dearly departed colleague.
 

Rest in power, Bryan...we love you.
 

Sincerely - Mark, Nina, Jon, Grant, Chris, and Max

Just posted 8 BRAND NEW preorders  for June. Check them out at link below. But you should hustle. Some releases are only 50 cases in size.

Couple of other IMPORTANT things (meaning please read):

Our REBEL - Storm Shadow shirt PREORDER sale ends at 3pm today. There is free shipping on this item if you select LOCAL PICK UP, but you must get your order in by 3pm today. You do not want to miss out on this one!!

Give thought to how you assemble your order. We will NOT ship out a package until ALL the beers have been released. 

Same goes for LOCAL PICK UP orders. You cannot pick up a partial order. If you want multiple products with different release dates than you should place several orders to allow you the ability to pick up incrementally vs. waiting for them all to be ready. 

Speaking of LOCAL PICK UP please keep in mind the web-store defaults to LOCAL PICKUP at checkout. You need to choose the appropriate shipping type you want from the drop down menu. If you accidentally select LOCAL PICKUP, but actually want to have it shipped, we will cancel your order. Keep in mind some beers might sell out in the interim period. 

You can order however you want, but we suggest placing two separate orders for the following releases: 

(REBEL + COVEN + IOS Margarita + IOS Tayberry)

(Black Science + Dead and Gone + Transmutation + Functional Dysfunction + White Noise + Invisible Art + Science and Sadism)

The beers online are NOT the only beers we are releasing in June, but probably the only ones that will be available online. We should have some VERY small batch releases that will be Tap Room only.

If you do nothing else, PLEASE read our detailed FAQ's for each release. We have been bombarded with people who clearly have not bothered reading any of the information with questions that are clearly posted. All this does is slow down our response time for everyone else. 

Oh, and this should go without saying, but DO NOT post questions or issues on social media or via direct message. Respond via email to your order confirmation.

Finally, we are offering limited on-site consumption at our Tap Room starting today. This is on our patio only, not inside the Tap Room. We are not announcing a "grand re-opening" like some other breweries as (to be frank) we're not exactly sure how it is going to go. But unlike the last two months, you can sit on our patio and actually have a beer. We have a bunch of can/bottle options, and half a dozen drafts.

Parking
We don’t recommend trying to park in our rear lot. As highlighted on the maps below, here are recommended places to park:

1. Front Lot
2. On Browning Ct
3. Geo-Structures lot
4. In gated lot to right of brewery. If you park here, suggest backing in along fence line. 
5. On North Bailey Ct behind the brewery. It is accessible from Hirst Avenue (short walk)
6. Parking lot at Taco Bell/KFC at intersection of Hirst Avenue & North Hatcher Avenue (1/2 mile walk)

Check-in
Check-in is at the rear of the building, to the right of the main tent. There are two lines: VIP & Advance/General Admission. Please have your ticket confirmation either accessible on your phone or printed out. We will scan you in, give you your glass, and bottle of Therapy Sessions (VIP & Advance ticket holders). Since you will have a bottle to carry, you may want to bring a satchel or backpack.

You will also be given your drink tickets (excludes General Admission holders). You may purchase additional drink tickets from any bartender inside.

Glassware 
You will receive your souvenir Taster Glass when you check-in. This is your glass for the day, and all samples will be poured in the same glass. DO NOT LOOSE OR BREAK YOUR GLASS, as we only ordered enough as how many tickets we sold. If you want a full 10 ounce pour (2 tickets) it will be served in a plastic cup.

Growlers
VA ABC law prevents us from filling Growlers of ANY of the Guest Taps. However, we can fill Growlers of Adroit Theory Beers. Most of our beers today are available for Growler fills. Note, we are ONLY filling Growlers from one location. Look for the cash register at the corner of the bar. There will be one bartender filling growlers. Please queue up in front of register as necessary. We will fill on a first come, first served basis.

Bottles
We have three bottles available for purchase today: 
The Death of Civilization in Slow Motion - Double IPA for $12
Therapy Sessions - Russian Imperial Stout for $12
Illusion of Safety - Passion Fruit + Pink Guava Gose for $6.00 (50% Off Today Only!)

Food
Odd BBQ will be onsite from 10:30 - 3:30 for food (or until runs out). You are welcome to also bring your own food. Monks BBQ is a great option for “To Go” food. Vocelli Pizza will deliver.

Bathrooms
We have our normal two bathrooms which are located at the end of the hallway. We also have a bathroom located upstairs. At end of the hallway, there are gray stairs that lead to a door on the left. The bathroom is inside on the left.

If the bathroom lines become to long, we will open up another bathroom which is located on the front of the building. Follow the signs.

Labor Day Weekend is officially here! And you shouldn't NEED a reason to come visit your friends at Adroit, but......we know how it is is. So, here are the 10 reasons to visit us this weekend:

10. Invisible Art - Black IPA. This beer is boss, and we are down to the last of the bottles and draft. Plus, we have the Meyers Dark Rum version on draft!

9. B/A/Y/S - Imperial Stout [Mexican Hot Chocolate Variant]. Have you tried this one? Seriously, it is ridiculously good. If we bottled it, there would be a line out the door.

8. Potion of Healing - Blonde Ale is back! While not for everyone, it is a great example of our experimental side. Yuzu, Birch & Orange Blossom in a beer. 'nuff said.

7. Zombie Cocktail - Gose. Part of our ongoing series of "alcoholic juice" inspired by cocktails. This one is absurdly good.

6. Tenebris - Barleywine [Rum Raisin Cake Variant]. We took our solid Barleywine and added Vanilla, Coconut & Caramel. Dessert in a glass!

5. Illusion of Safety - Passion Fruit + Pink Guava Gose. Literally, the definition of refreshing. Available on draft, growlers and bottles.

4. EBK - DIPA [warning shot] is on sale for only $4.50 a bottle. Seriously, that is the least expensive hoppy bomber ANYWHERE! Stock up and save!

3. Pepe Food Truck will be here on Saturday serving flauta sandwiches.

2. We have our mobile bar set up Saturday, Sunday and Monday. Come hang out on the patio!

1. It's Labor Day weekend, and you don't have to work!! We're open everyday from now until Monday from 12-8pm.

Join the Adroit Theory Crew as we release our biggest, and most complex beer yet. Dia de los Muertos is a Double Stout aged in Maple Rye Whiskey Barrels from Catoctin Creek Distillery. Clocking in at 13.5%, this is the beer you expect from Adroit Theory. Big, Brash, Boozy, and Delicious.

The original version of this beer was the quickest selling, and highest rated, beer we had done at the time. This is also the beer that Catoctin Creek distilled into a whiskey for us. After over 2 years aging in American Oak, the whiskey will be released at Catoctin Creek. To celebrate the release of the whiskey, we brewed this beer and aged it in their Maple Rye Whiskey Barrels. 

We are bottling only 125 bottles. These will be available to our VIP Ticket Holders. Any bottles after VIP Ticket Sales ends will be available to the General Public on a first come, first served, basis starting at noon.

And what better way to celebrate this beer than with a party. We called on our friends from Council Brewing in San Diego, California to hook us up with some of their hoppiest and sour offerings. We will have no less than 12 guest taps to compliment our own 25 drafts.

Prelimanary Guest Tap List:

1. Council: Good Advice - Session IPA
2. Council: Bad Advice - Triple IPA
3. Council: Pirates Breakfast - Imperial Stout
4. Council Beattitude - Tart Saison with Passion Fruit

Join the ATBC Crew as we celebrate being open to the public for 2 Years!!!! Hard to believe, but our 2-Year Anniversary is upon us, and this time, we are breaking out the big guns to celebrate. We have decided to incorporate two other milestones into our celebration. Namely:

B/A/Y/S - Imperial Stout Aged in Cognac: Release Party

We are bottling 300 of B/A/Y/S Cognac, and when you purchase a ticket online (prior to the event) you will receive the OPTION of purchasing a bottle. Not mandatory, but all attendees who purchase a ticket by 1/22 are GUARANTEED at least one bottle of (perhaps) our rarest beer yet! Any additonal bottles will be put on sale at the Tasting Room at noon on Saturday 1/23.

DAWN OF A DARK DAY FESTIVAL: Our Black Beer Party

In addtion to many of our regular offerings, we are breaking out 15 of our black beers, plus special guest taps of black beers. Here is an overview:

• 30 Black Beers including Stouts, Porters, & Black IPA's
• 37+ Beers on Tap Simultaneously
• Guest Taps from Breweries like Hardywood, Reaver Beach, 3 Stars, O'Connor & More
• B/A/Y/S - Cognac Barrel Aged Imperial Stout on Draft & in Bottles
• A Commemorative Glass
• Saffron Gourmet Food Truck

We will be pouring 25 of our own brews including 18 BLACK BEERS. We will also be serving 12+ GUEST BLACK BEERS. That is over 37+ RARE BEERS in one location! Note, we will be pouring ALL beers at one time, not staging beers to tap as others kick! We have made a commemorative glass for the event that is marked for 4 and 8 ounce pour sizes. We are utilizing a DRINK TICKET system once inside to simplify things. This includes the following on ALL beers:

1 Drink Ticket = 4 Ounce Pour = $3.00
2 Drink Tickets = 8 Ounce Pour = $6.00

PURCHASE TICKETS HERE!

We are charging a $10 entry fee for all guests except Designated Drivers or Childeren under 21 years of age.
