Parsons Brewing Company is looking for a passionate and creative person to join our team.
Set on six acres of land, Parsons Brewing Company is a rural farm brewery that has become a destination for visitors to Prince Edward County. At Parsons, every beer tells a story. Gaining inspiration from the rich County history, our family owned and operated farm brewery consists of three heritage lumber buildings that were disassembled, restored, and repurposed as our Bottle Shop, Taproom and Brewery.
The large harvest tables on our patio offer a beer-garden vibe, and inspire the spirit of community gatherings. We feature 18 Parsons beers on tap, rotating guest taps, a selection of locally-made wines, ciders and non-alcoholic beverages, and aim to provide something for everyone. In order to continue to expand our culinary program, we are looking for a sous chef who can embrace our community-vibe, champion local suppliers, and become involved in the development of our dining-experience. Alfresco dining in the bustling high season is what it is all about.

Our brewery is nestled between a field of barley and a fledgling hop yard. It doesn’t get better than this. Crafted Authentically, Brewed Sustainably and Shared Passionately.
