7Bev Corporation offers a unique career opportunity for people who wish to advance in the food and beverage industry. Presently 7Bev has three business units. Willamette Ale & Cider House (WACH), Queen Orchard, and 7Bev OEM. WACH is a retail operation of 7Bev Corporation. WACH offers Taproom, Café, Bottleshop, and kitchen operations. WACH is not just a place to serve food and drinks - unlike a restaurant. It is a community gathering place ("community hub") for people to experience the craft beer and cider culture. WACH is accompanied by its own cider-wine production facility on site, under the Queen Orchard brand name. Customers are able to drink ciders that are poured directly out of the freshly brewed brite tanks! The company is financially backed by a family owned real estate development and construction company. Thus, our owners are our landlord. The company recently purchased a 65 acre farm in West Linn to develop an orchard, hence Queen Orchard. This will allow us to process our own fruit juice to produce consistent and quality cider and wine. This will also be our second Ale & Cider House location. In addition, we plan to have co-op cider/wine facilities to promote local cider and wine makers.
We are an equal opportunity employer. No discrimination of any kind. We encourage people with skills that would fit into our organizational growth.
