We’re bold, refreshing and a bit unusual. Precisely how we like it.

This all started over a beer, or lack thereof. Friends Dean Eberhardt and Andrew Markley were at a craft brewery while Dean was nearly finishing up a month off of drinking in an effort to kickstart some healthier habits.

But it wasn’t the buzz Dean realized he missed — it was the ritual, the familiarity, the camaraderie. The smell and taste of that hoppy, bubbly cold ale his buddy was enjoying. The craft beer experience.

And that’s when it hit them. To brew tea like beer, with the hops, but without sugars, additives or any fermentation.

Starting at a summer of farmers’ markets, but quickly advancing to the grand prize at the 2018 BevNet New Beverage Showdown, a 2019 Best New Beverage Award from the Natural Foods Expo West, and a Boulder taproom and brewery, HopTea is bringing the uncommon libation to the craft craving people.

Not your grandma’s sweet tea. Hoppy, but with less punch than your best friend’s IPA, HopTea is for those looking to fuel their curiosity.

We are looking to expand the HopTea Production Team.

This position will primarily be responsible for supporting production in our brewery. This will include learning and understanding the brewing process, learning and understanding the mechanical operation of the canning line, and providing support during canning runs. Additional responsibilities may include but are not limited to preparing orders for shipment, serving in the taproom, preventative maintenance, and various administrative tasks.

Ideal candidates will have previous manufacturing experience (preferably in a brewing or food environment) and mechanical ability (or mechanical aptitude with openness to training for mechanical ability).

The perfect candidate will either have a background in brewing or maintenance in a manufacturing environment.

Ability to lift up to 45 pounds is a must.

Current shifts are 8-4 and 11-7 (training shift for this shift is 10-6), and there are openings during each. Some Saturday shifts are required. Overtime is optional but never mandatory.

Hoplark HopTea has created an entirely new beverage. Made from three simple ingredients and handmade in our brewery in Boulder, HopTea is changing the landscape of ready to drink beverages and redefining what is "Natural" and "Craft" in the industry. Hoplark HopTea launched nationwide at all Whole Foods stores last year, one of the youngest companies to do so, and is continuing rapid growth. There will be many upcoming opportunities for crosstraining, leadership, and other growth within the company.
