Quality Assurance Intern

June 2022 - September 2022 Zillah, WA
“This internship offers a great introduction to the hops industry. As an intern, I had the opportunity to learn about several aspects of hop and beer production, including field work, hop harvest, breeding, sensory and brewing. We traveled to fields across Washington, Idaho and Oregon. This allowed us to meet with growers and brewers to learn about their company and experiences, as well as many of the field and greenhouse workers.”
