The Galley - Line Cook - Full-Time (Louisville)

West Sixth Brewing is a craft brewery and taproom located in downtown Lexington, KY.  We focus on producing the highest quality, fresh, delicious craft beer, and sharing it with others by distributing it to other restaurants and bars in the Central Kentucky area.  We were the first brewery to can its beer in Kentucky, and distribute flagship and seasonal beers to stores throughout the Commonwealth and across the river in Cincinnati, OH. Finally, we also operate a taproom at our production facility, located in the Bread Box at 501 West Sixth Street; our Louisville taproom in NuLu; the West Sixth Farm in Franklin County; and our West Sixth Boxpark taproom in Newport, and our Foodtruck, Cantina. We are excited to be rolling out our restaurant in the NuLu Taproom in Louisville very soon, and we're looking for folks to add to our growing team!

We also believe that businesses should be measured not only by their financial success but also by the good they do for their community.  That’s why, in every decision we make, we weigh not only how it will affect the business but also how it can better the community that we live in. From our choices to focus on green design inside the taproom, to our selection of cans for distributing our beer, to our commitment to give 6% of all net profits back to other community organizations, we try to live our values in every decision we make...and we have a lot of fun doing it!
