ABOUT ASAHI BEER USA / OCTOPI BREWING

Founded in 2014 as a Wisconsin contract brewery, Octopi Brewing has spent over a decade brewing and packaging beer, seltzers, RTDs, and sodas for clients nationwide. In 2024, Asahi — brewers of Asahi Super Dry — acquired Octopi, making us the U.S. production home of Super Dry. Today, our 250+ person team of beverage industry pros keeps that same local, quality-first spirit alive at a state-of-the-art facility. As Cellar Supervisor, you'll be the accountable leader for your shift — keeping production, communication, and your team on track, and reporting directly to the Cellar Manager.

PAY BY SHIFT

Pay starts at $28.00/hr, using the same shift differential structure as our Brewer roles. Shifts outside of 1st shift include an additional shift differential on top of that base — never a lower starting rate, just added pay for the shift.

1st Shift — $28.00/hr (base rate)

2nd Shift — $28.00/hr base + $3.00/hr shift differential = $31.00/hr

3rd Shift — $28.00/hr base + $4.00/hr shift differential = $32.00/hr

Weekend Day — $28.00/hr base + $5.75/hr shift differential = $33.75/hr

Weekend Night — $28.00/hr base + $7.75/hr shift differential = $35.75/hr
