About Gilman Brewing Company:
We’re a family here at Gilman Brewing. What does that mean? Well, all the standard stuff that comes with being part of a family: working hard together, people giving you crap about your latest haircut, ribbing the regulars who rolled in after stopping by “the competition” around the corner, giving the bartenders a bunch of shit about how they can’t cook….
No egos. No attitudes. Just killer beer, tasty food and real nice people.
We’ve been a very tight group that has had each other’s backs since opening in 2015. Everything we do is about making our beer accessible and making EVERYONE feel welcome and comfortable in our taprooms. We are a small, family-run business and we try to keep that same family vibe, treating everyone the way we would like to be treated.
Our tasting rooms are a key part of our success as we’re able to showcase our awesome staff, beer, culture, and our brand with patrons and turn them into loyal fans. We expect everyone on the team to act as our brand ambassadors when they are working in the taproom and we all work to provide the best possible experience for our guests in a fast-paced environment.
To be a successful cook at Gilman, one must work with teammates to ensure that our guests receive prompt and seamless service and are having a great time. Working as part of the TEAM means assisting FOH staff with food delivery, helping to bus, assisting with dishes/glassware and expecting they will do the same when you are in the weeds! Tip pooling makes sure the entire team benefits when it's busy….
