Line Cook | Eckhart Beer Co. | Now Hiring

About Eckhart Beer Company: 

Eckhart Beer Co. is a new, 8000-square-foot 10bbl brewery and taproom in Brooklyn, specializing in European- style lagers. Eckhart will bring the best of the European lager beer tradition–from raw ingredients, to brewing process, to hospitality–to the heart of Brooklyn. Eckhart will embrace a “narrow-but-deep” approach to the craft brewing movement, featuring a small range of beers but focusing on perfection, tradition, and authenticity at all levels. Eckhart will have a fully built-out, 100-seat taproom with a full kitchen, and we intend to create a welcoming and convivial space that is a destination for casual beer drinkers and aficionados alike. 

The heart of Eckhart’s menu is food that goes well with beer and brings people together. We aim to reflect a thoughtful, concise and seasonally relevant approach to food that supports the quality and style of beer being brewed and served. The food program strives to find a through-line from the brewery to the taproom using both ingredients found in beer as well as byproducts of the brewing process along with fresh, interesting and quality ingredients to make a complete dining experience with a respect to the culinary heritage of those regions where these beers have been traditionally brewed.
