Retail Clerk

Located in the seasonal Alaskan cruise ship port of Skagway, the Skagway Brewing Company is an expansive three story building featuring an on-site microbrewery, retail store, restaurant, pub, and beer garden totaling seating for up to 375. Plus we take pride in our sustainability efforts - we have a year-round indoor aeroponic "farm" where we grow all of our own leafy greens & culinary herbs. And the harvest yield of this produce is boosted by the carbon dioxide released from the brewing process which we capture and send via pipes over to the garden. Neat stuff!
And Skagway is nature's playground as the area abounds with natural beauty and adventures like hiking, fishing, camping, rock climbing, zip lining, and not to mention the wildlife! You'll make many memorable experiences and everlasting friendships here... and may just find your forever home!
