Hi, we're

Small Beer

and we make small beer, which is a more fun way to say low alcohol beer. We are America's first brand dedicated to low-ABV beer, and with moderation on the rise and non-alc beer starting to fade, we believe small beer is the perfect solution for more mindful drinking. We launched statewide in Colorado and built a great foundation, now we need someone talented and hungry to help us BRING THE BEER TO THE PEOPLE.

About the Role This isn’t a standard beer sales gig, you would be the face of Small Beer in Colorado and tasked with building a healthy, thriving brand across the state. A blend of sales and marketing, you would cover Colorado border to border and be a constant presence for Small Beer in bars, restaurants, stores, venue, and events. You'll need to spend lots of time in the field with our accounts and customers, while always staying professional and being a positive representative of the brand.

This role will be challenging and demanding, you’ll have to roll up your sleeves and be scrappy, but it will be rewarding and fun as hell. It’s a unique entrepreneurial opportunity to work with and learn from proven, exited founders, ideal for someone who wants to grow with a high potential startup or someday launch their own project.

Let's go build a beer brand.
