About Us
Before we get into the specifics of this position, we’d love to introduce ourselves briefly… We’re dreamers. Eight years ago, we envisioned a way to pursue our passions, contribute to Manitoban culture, and build something special. That vision was a brewery which would become our love letter to Manitoba. To honour our province’s past as we shaped its future, we named it Nonsuch.
Today, our focus lies beyond the beer – honouring people’s entire experience. From the little moments to the big celebrations we should all savour – the times worth remembering. Therein lies the heart of everything we do. We believe in making moments.
Opportunity to grow
As our young company grows, new positions develop for our Nonsuch family members. These opportunities are both linear (such as moving from ‘assistant brewer’ to ‘brewer’) and lateral (shifting into other parts of the business.)
