Perks: The selected candidate will receive an Annual Lazy Dog Beer Club Membership, ensuring you don't miss out on the next four epic releases (dinosaurs not included in membership).

Job Description: Are you passionate about craft beer and have an inexplicable talent for taming prehistoric creatures? Lazy Dog Beer Club is headed on a thrilling expedition back in time with its 21st quarterly release, the "Land of the Lost," featuring an eight-pack of four uniquely brewed beers from four breweries across the country. This extraordinary journey into the age of dinosaurs brings forth a unique opportunity for an enthusiastic and skilled individual to join our dynamic team as Chief Dinosaur Handler. As the Chief Dinosaur Handler, you'll be the orchestrator of handling the care, management, and safety for our lively dinosaurs. This unique and thrilling position requires a blend of expertise in paleontology, safety protocols, and most importantly, crucial tasting abilities in the field of beer. This role not only involves handling the majestic dinosaurs, but also handling the intricate details of Lazy Dog Beer Club kits, ensuring a seamless experience for our members. Please note that this is a temporary assignment, offering an extraordinary opportunity for adventure. If you've ever dreamt of walking a ICHTHYOSAURUS or teaching a STEGO STOUTUS new tricks, your time has come!

Key Responsibilities:

• Tame and manage our herd of dino-beers and oversee them when Lazy Dog Beer Club members pick up their eight-pack of four uniquely brewed beers and take advantage of restaurant perks.

• Display a good sense of humor and willingness to handle the less glamorous aspects of the job, including the occasional "prehistoric parcels," guaranteeing a clean and enjoyable environment for both our dinosaurs and Lazy Dog Beer Club members.

• Develop and implement a comprehensive feeding and nutrition plan based on individual species requirements, ensuring that the dinosaurs' diets harmoniously complement the unique flavors and themes of the craft beers featured in Lazy Dog Beer Club releases.

• Organize "Feeding Times" (exclusive tasting events) for our Beer Club members to meet and greet with these ancient giants of the brewing world.

• Design and maintain secure and appropriate enclosures for each dinosaur species ensuring they are as cool and inviting as an ice-cold beer on a hot summer day.

• Implement safety protocols to protect staff and members from the occasional wild Fermento-Rex.

• Interact with Lazy Dog guests, providing educational information about dinosaurs and beer pairings, to create a seamless connection between the dinosaurs and the craft beers.

• Conduct daily "walks" with our most spirited dinosaurs, showcasing our unique brews to awe-struck members.

• Work closely with our brewers to understand the prehistoric nuances of each beer.

• Develop and enjoy unique craft beers inspired by the dinosaurs you care for, for Lazy Dog Beer Club Members to enjoy.

Qualifications:

• Must be 21+ (non-negotiable).

• At least 10,000 hours of experience in dinosaur handling or an equivalent degree in Paleontology or Time Travel.

• A robust understanding of craft beer, with a preference given to candidates who can differentiate a Lageraptor from an IPAnkylosaurus by taste alone.

• Proven experience in the care and handling of large animals, preferably prehistoric species.

• Strong understanding of dinosaur behavior, physiology, and nutritional requirements.

• Ability to communicate in dinosaur roars, grunts, and the universal language of beer appreciation.

• Ability to remain calm and composed in emergency situations, including, but not limited to dinosaurs feasting on Lazy Dog Restaurants’ handcrafted dishes.

• Physical fitness and stamina to handle the demands of the position.

• Deep understanding of the craft beers featured in Lazy Dog Beer Club releases, the beer style, and story behind each dinosaur-themed brew.

• Exceptional bravery and a sense of humor.

Disclaimer: This is not a real job. It’s a fun way for you to win an annual membership to Lazy Dog Beer Club. Must be 21+ to participate. The winner will be announced on March 12th, 2024.
