MARKETING MANAGER
Ratio Beerworks is an emerging brewery in the heart of Denver’s River North Art District and we are seeking a Marketing Manager to help grow our brand as we begin canning and entering new markets. Ratio is rooted in counter-culture, DIY, music, and the arts, and we make this connection to communities through our beer. Join us to shape that message!

Ratio is currently planning a significant expansion with the addition of a new production facility, which will allow us to make the leap in packaged beer and expand into new markets throughout Colorado. Are you driven, committed, passionate, energetic, positive, growth-oriented, creative, and love leading teams and projects? We'd love to meet you!

Ratio Beerworks opened in 2015 with deep roots in music, art, and culture. Founders Jason zumBrunnen and Scott Kaplan met through the punk scene during their time at CU-Boulder almost 20 years before zumBrunnen added an international diploma in brewing to his chemical engineering degree.
