About The Lagunitas Brewing Company - Heineken

There's a seat at our bar for everyone

Welcome to the wild and wonderful world of Lagunitas, where we take our beer seriously—but not ourselves. If you’re looking for a buttoned-up corporate gig with boring reports and soul-crushing Zoom meetings, you’ve taken a wrong turn. But if you’re into bold brews, bigger ideas, and a work environment where "casual Friday" is every day, then pull up a barstool.

We’re on the hunt for like-minded misfits who push the boundaries of what makes a good beer legendary. Positions range from brewers to bartenders, marketing magicians to sales wizards. And yeah, there’s probably a role that’ll let you use “beer enthusiast” as a legit job skill. We’re on the hunt for folks who aren’t afraid to roll up their sleeves, spill a little (or a lot) of beer, and bring their best selves to the table. If you can handle a fast-paced, beer-fueled environment and laugh in the face of “the way things have always been done,” we want you.

So, if you’re looking for a job where you can be yourself, talk beer all day, apply now! We don’t bite. (Except for Gary in the back. But he’s working on it.)

Come as You Are 

At Lagunitas, we welcome people (and dogs) from all walks of life. Anyone, regardless of their race, creed, nation of origin, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, disability status, veteran status, marital status, or age, has a home here. Love, progress, and acceptance will always have a seat at our bar.
