barrel aged beer to be sent to underserviced markets.
and sours.

someone tell the OP that they'd best be served to open in a less expensive area than toronto. you need space for barrels and time for sours.

So..... we know nothing about brewing, grammar, or business and are looking for someone to do all the work while we enjoy all the profits of said labour. Awesomeness, indeed.

Some of the greatest hobbies have got to be the worst business ideas, and this sounds like the ultimate experience of all that.

What's to lose?

Sure, but they're also putting up all the financial risk. It's a terribly written posting, but provided the salary is reasonable it's not an unfair setup.

It is refreshingly progressive to see someone looking to focus on international exports rather than on the ubiquitous "drink local" myopia that has a hold over so much of the craft scene.
