This Co-Op position is part of Anheuser-Busch's Innovations group, hosted at the Research Pilot Brewery, offering a unique hands-on experience to university students or recent graduates. The role is designed for those eager to engage directly with the brewing process in an environment described as a highly efficient microbrewery within the largest brewery in the country. The candidate will be actively involved in manual and technical operations including moving beer, grinding malt, cleaning tanks, and transferring products, with direct exposure to advanced brewing equipment such as flow meters, plate and frame coolers, glycol jacketed tanks, yeast separators, and steam heaters. This role is not your typical engineering internship; it demands physical activity and offers rich learning opportunities tied directly to academic knowledge.
