What are the responsibilities and job description for the Barback - Union position at Braxton Brewing?
Barback — Braxton Brewing Co., Union Taproom
Braxton Brewing is looking for a Barback to join the crew at our Union taproom. If you like moving fast, staying a step ahead of the rush, and being the reason a busy Friday night doesn't fall apart, this is your spot. Barbacks are the backbone of the bar - you'll keep beer flowing, glassware stocked, and the team set up to take great care of every guest who walks in.
Pay: $10/hour tips
What you'll do
- Change kegs, stock coolers, and keep draft lines, glassware, and bar supplies fully replenished throughout the shift
- Support bartenders during rushes — restocking, running ice, clearing glassware, and anticipating what they need before they ask
- Bus and reset tables, clear the bar top, and keep the taproom looking sharp
- Handle trash, recycling, and empty keg returns
- Help with opening and closing duties, including stocking, deep cleaning bar mats and drains, and
- prepping for the next shift
- Pitch in on events, releases, and private parties held at the taproom
- Follow all state and local alcohol service laws, plus Braxton's safety and sanitation standards
What we're looking for
- 18 or older (required to work in a licensed establishment in Kentucky)
- Able to lift and move up to 165 lbs (a full half-barrel keg) repeatedly throughout a shift
- Comfortable standing, walking, and moving quickly for 6–8 hours
- Available nights, weekends, and holidays — this is when we're busiest
- Previous bar, restaurant, or brewery experience is a plus but not required — we'll train the right person
- A genuine interest in craft beer and Braxton's story
Salary : $10
