Assistant Taproom Leader

COMPANY DESCRIPTION

Woods Boss Brewing Company was first established in 2014 as a stake in the ground to begin planning a brewery where the recipes of Jordan Fink and friends could make their impression to consumers through the Woods Boss name. Jordan and Chad met in the summer of 2014 when the partnership began. While Jordan and Chad began detailing the business plan, each of them took a period of time to feed that inner adventure. Jordan went to Nepal for six months to start the first craft brewery in the shadows of the Himalayas and Chad embarked on a seven month road trip throughout South America. After researching and viewing over fifty locations throughout the foothills and eventually Denver, our location was settled upon. The first Woods Boss Brewing Company location lease was signed in July of 2016 for 2210 California Street, Denver, Colorado 80205.

The Brewery name "Woods Boss" comes from Jordan's job title while working for the Northwest Youth Corps, where he led and managed programs for forty 16-19 year olds and their eight adult leaders in the wilds of Oregon and Washington. Between Jordan’s experiences as a Woods Boss and Chad as an Eagle Scout, the outdoors, teaching survival and basic life skills is extracted into the basis of the Woods Boss Brewing Company’s values we wish to share with our customers and community around us.

Our goal at Woods Boss Brewing Company is simple: extraordinary product quality, customer service and community. We accomplish this by observing a common set of values and by partnering with organizations that have the finest reputation for quality. There are no shortcuts; we believe that our goals are accomplished only with a real commitment from every employee.
