You have always been fascinated with the craft of brewing beer and getting to brew beer each day is your dream job. You have more beer ideas than time. You’re looking for a brewery owned and operated by people that make and love craft beer, and who will appreciate your contribution. You understand that craft beer consumer tastes are diverse and that in order to brew the fun stuff you also need to brew solid, reputable flagships. You’re ready for all facets of production in a commercial brewery.
Category 12 is growing! Situated on the Saanich Peninsula, we opened our doors just over eight years ago and now have a lounge and bistro! We left our careers behind to open Category 12 and unleash our creativity on the world while proudly blending it with our scientific roots. We have a modern, bright and inviting work environment with a great on-site lounge now expanded and with a kitchen. We brew beers that are hard to make and love truly unique flavour experiences that are both Belgian and West Coast inspired. We have a deep fascination with the science and art of all things fermented and we are obsessed with all the geeky details (microbes and all!). Eight years in, we still feel like we are still just beginning to flex our creative muscles with new ideas constantly in development. We’re a tight-knit group of friendly, passionate people that thrive on taking the beer we brew and food we make seriously but not ourselves. We enjoy supporting each other, sharing our beer, food (and story) with the public and getting the job done every day.
