About us:
Starbase Brewing is a new brewery startup launching in Austin later this summer. As you can probably guess from the name, we are creating rocketry-themed beers inspired by Starbase, Texas. We’re planning to start out by brewing our own modern twists on traditional ales and lagers. Eventually we’d like to expand into explorations of other styles including hazies, sours, stouts, and more.
One of our biggest goals is to use craft beer to educate and excite the public about space exploration and Mars Colonization. (1% of all of our profits will be donated to science education!) We are the “Official Brewery of Mars” and our guiding vision is to be the first brewery on another planet. We have some really cool partnerships and potential customers in the works, and are excited about building this brand in the great beer city of Austin. If this project sounds exciting to you, please reach send your resume and any references to apply@starbasebrewery.com. Tell us a bit about yourself, and be sure to mention what styles of beers you most like to drink. We will respond in a timely manner. Thank you for your interest.
