Do you love cooking, BBQ, and interacting with people? We are searching for a hard-working event host, who shares our values and our love of BBQ!

Does spending your weekends at a craft brewery, teaching others how to select the perfect firewood, choose the right rub, trim a brisket, and slice the perfect serving sound like a great time? Then this might just be the perfect opportunity for you.

Our Event Hosts will help run our Backyard Pitmaster courses on weekends in various local breweries.  The candidate will work a weekend shift on Saturday and/or Sunday.
