A good place to spend a shift
- Fed on shift. A Scratch Kitchen shift meal on working days — real from-scratch food, made by the kitchen you work beside.
- A beer perk. A staff beer allotment for team members 21 and over.
- Your schedule, ahead of time. Schedules post a week or more out, and shifts flex around school and life.
- Paid training. Onboarding and beer education happen on the clock, from day one.
- The setting. Five riverside acres on the North Fork of the Rockfish River, live music most weekends, and a beer garden people drive out for.
- Family-owned, room to grow. Real people, not a chain — you'll know the owners, they'll know you, and we promote from within as the taproom, events, and the Roots Market keep growing.
