Also, everytime a head brewer puts a tri-clamp down or a screwdriver or wrench ask him … “is that where that goes?” He’ll love that.
These are the boots I like:

Easy on, and just high enough that my pant leg reaches over the top of them.
;D
Those look good, although I prefer ones I can just step in to.
I might pick a pair of those up. Thanks.
Make sure to constantly remind him you are a homebrewer.
AND, you can use those for cool weather rafting/kayaking too! Great river shoes.
On the topic of boots:
Dr Martens are very comfortable and get great reviews.
…and good luck jamminbrew. Sounds like you’re off to a good start by getting some hands on training.
Step out OF, I think is the important part.
The one’s I have are Rocky “Long Range”. They are slip on, calf height. They also have an impressive western flourish. 
Well, I talked to the lead brewer, and they are buying the boots I need for me. I don’t know what brand/type, but already-paid-for is the best kind.
I start on Monday the 10th. (Had to give current job 2 weeks) It’s a local brewery here in Colorado Springs, called Phantom Canyon Brewing Company. They’ve been here since '93, so they are a well-established brewery. They are finishing an expansion this week, so when I start, we will be brewing with twice the capacity from a month ago. And they bought a bottling line, so distribution is also in the future…
Great time to be stepping in!
How cool is that! Keep us informed.
We finally got the new brewery up and running. Ran a test batch yesterday, and then today, we brewed 27 bbls of hefeweiss. By the end of the week, we will have brewed 105 bbls, 4 different beers. I am hot, wet, tired, and coated in grain dust, and loving every minute of it.
Learned an important lesson about steam pipes yesterday. They are hot. Probably gonna have a lasting mark on my leg from that.
And the boots they bought for me are Industrial Servus, by Honeywell. Steel toed, even!
Cheers!
Cool.
On the side note. Who need the body piercing and scaring artists when you just can work in the brewery.
Awesome! I’ve never checked out the craft beer scene down in the Springs but sounds like I may need to next time I am out visiting the folks.
