About

We built a team of experienced and knowledgeable brewers, engineers, and designers at Craft Kettle who are here to help the craft industry evolve and innovate into the future. We understand your strengths as a brewer depend heavily on the design and function of your equipment, and we sweat the details to ensure you have what you need to make a consistent, quality product.

Our team knows how to have a good time, but more importantly, we know our craft and we take quality, safety, and design seriously. It takes both great equipment and a strong and knowledgeable partner to excel in this industry. We'd love to be the partner that helps to make your brewery better.

Matthew Amoss, founder

Our parent company has more than thirty-five years experience in fabrication and design, but when we formed Craft Kettle, we knew it would take more than experience to build the perfect craft brewery equipment. That's why our mission is focused on Craft. From our hiring practices to our weekly team meetings, we keep the eye on the values that make the Craft industry great.

OUR STORY

We will always

focus on Craft

We believe that independent brewers with the right resources have the ability to make a far superior product than the beverages backed by large corporate investors. We know that people matter, and we value the long-term relationships we form. We think the key to success in any industry is successful and simple innovation, and we value bold thinking, problem solving, and long-term growth and sustainability. All of these values set us apart on the equipment side in this industry, and we think you'll be excited to work with our team because of it.

A few of the people that

Make us Better

He has a BTEC in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Kent in the UK and has spent considerable time in the field in the brewing industry and around the world working on steam and gas turbines, including in Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, and the UAE. On any given day, James might move from drafting in 3D CAD, to tack welding our process piping, to leading our large tank rigging operations. He truly is a jack of all trades.

Jeremy is an experienced commercial brewer. He has a B.S. in Biotechnology from the University of Wisconsin-River Falls, and he was working on his PhD in Biochemistry at Purdue University when he decided to join the craft beer world in 2005.

He has a wide range of relevant experience ranging from panel wiring to draft system installations.
