Westbound & Down Brewing Co - Brewery Representative
Join Colorado's Fastest-Growing & Most Award-Winning Brewery since 2019
Founded in 2015 in the heart of the Rockies,
Westbound & Down Brewing Company
has grown from a single mountain-town brewpub into one of Colorado's most celebrated independent breweries. With acclaimed locations in
Idaho Springs, Lafayette, Denver's Dairy Block, and new ventures in Aspen, Basalt, and soon to be Wheat Ridge , we're building something special - a company rooted in hospitality, adventure, and an obsession with world-class beer.
Our dedication to quality and creativity has earned us national recognition - including
seven medals at the 2025 Great American Beer Festival
and the title of
Brewery & Brewer of the Year (5,001-15,000 Barrels) . That follows our
2019 GABF win as Midsize Brewpub of the Year , cementing our reputation as one of the premier breweries in the country.
Now, we're looking for a motivated and ambitious
Brewery Representative

Develop and maintain strong, positive relationships with account staff and distributor sales personnel. Set the standard for follow-up and follow-through in every aspect of the role. Complete all required administrative reporting and communication in a timely manner, including a weekly planner, weekly recap, and daily use of Lilypad CRM. Meet or exceed sales goals and maintain personal budgets as outlined by your manager. Perform other duties as assigned. Qualifications
