You’ll learn what exceptional hospitality looks like during our busiest season and play a key role in creating memorable experiences for everyone who stops in.

The other half of your internship will focus on learning and leading brewery tours. With training and mentorship, you’ll build confidence in public speaking, deepen your understanding of our brewing process and brand story, and guide guests through a safe, engaging, and well-paced visit.

• Restocking, cleaning, and keeping guest spaces organized and ready
• Learning Allagash history, brewing basics, and our brand story
• Leading safe, engaging tours—managing group timing and flow so every guest feels welcomed and included
• Answering guest questions and providing responsible beer education
• Partnering with our Hospitality and Production teams to keep tour spaces safe, clean, and welcoming

What You’ll Learn

The internship is designed to build real-world skills in hospitality, public speaking, and guest engagement. Throughout the summer, you’ll learn how we deliver consistent, world-class service and develop:

• Strong communication and guest-service skills
• Confidence leading visitor groups and speaking to diverse audiences
