Do you love beer? Do you live in Westwood or Tustin? Does the idea of a lifetime supply of granola really turn you on*? Well if you’re looking for a beer job, boy have I got something for you. From the Beer Industry Jobs Blog:
If you keep an eye on the Beer Job Boards, you’ll see that Whole Foods jobs come up pretty often. Often times, they will just say something like Specialty Team Member. Their specialty department encompasses beer, wine, and cheese, so its more than just beer. BUT, if you see Beer Specialist in the job title, that would be the point person in the beer department.
It looks like Los Angeles is a hot spot in need of more Beer Specialists right now, since there are 3 listings up on the Beer Job Board. There is one at their Westwood location, another in Tustin, and then a more generic listing that just says they need a Beer Specialist in Los Angeles. Possibly a double listing?
Who knows if this represents some sort of trend in a city that has long been a wasteland for beer. Maybe Los Angeles is starting to catch up to the rest of the country? Or maybe Whole Foods’ recent merger with Wild Oats has created more beer job openings? Who knows.
*lifetime supply of granola may actually be a ficticious job perk
March Madness is over, and baseball season is upon us. And what goes best with baseball, besides peanuts and crackerjacks? You guessed it: Beer. There are tons of crappy sports bars all over LA that serve their purpose, but wouldn’t you rather go somewhere exotic for the afternoon? How about Boston!
