From wort production to cellar work, I fill in where your team needs help most. Whether you’re short-staffed or up against a tight production deadline, I offer hands-on brewing support tailored to your SOPs and schedule.

Need help juggling tank transfers, yeast harvests, or CIP cycles? I’ll step in with a clean and methodical approach, so your beer stays on schedule and your tanks stay in rotation.

Looking to experiment? I can help you test new concepts, scale recipes, or design seasonal offerings with your system and market in mind.
production consultation
Let’s dial in your system. I can help troubleshoot inefficiencies, identify quality gaps, and streamline production workflows—from brewhouse to bright-tank.
Maintenance & Training
Whether you’re onboarding new production staff or reworking your SOPs, I offer one-on-one training and consulting to help build confident, efficient teams that take pride in the craft.
My name is Kevin Wulf. I’m a contract brewer and production specialist with over a decade of hands-on experience in the craft beer industry. I’ve worked my way up from assistant brewer to head of production, managing everything from pilot systems to 30-barrel brewhouses, and leading canning lines, cellar teams, and full-scale recipe development.
Before launching Wulfcraft Brewing, I ran production for Riverwalk Brewing Co., led the brewing team at Gentile Brewing, and collaborated with over a dozen breweries from all over the North Shore and Greater Boston area to bring their contract recipes to life. I’ve built cask programs, scaled 5 - gallon recipes to 15/30/60 bbl batches, and kept operations running clean, lean, and efficient — always with an eye on quality and craft.
These days, I work directly with breweries who need skilled, short-term brewing support: filling gaps, scaling and developing new recipes, and keeping the tanks turning. When I’m not in the brewhouse, you’ll probably find me deep in a woodworking project or baking a fresh loaf of bread.

FAQs
A contract brewer steps in to support a brewery wherever it’s needed most. That can mean brewing on your system, helping manage cellar operations, running packaging, or troubleshooting issues as they come up. The goal is simple: keep production moving and beer quality high without adding long-term overhead. It’s flexible support from someone who already knows how to work in a production environment.
What does a contract brewer do?
What services does Wulfcraft Brewing offer?
Wulfcraft Brewing provides hands-on brewing support tailored to your needs. That includes brewhouse operation, cellaring, packaging, recipe development, process optimization, general production support, and maintenance. Whether you need help for a single project or ongoing weekly support, the focus is on being a reliable extension of your team, not just an outside consultant.
Most breweries reach a point where production demands outpace their current team. That might look like falling behind on brew days, stretched packaging schedules, or not having time to focus on improving processes. Bringing in a contract brewer helps relieve that pressure and keeps things running smoothly without the commitment of hiring full-time staff.
When should a brewery hire outside brewing help?
This is one of the most common reasons breweries bring in outside help. Whether you’re dealing with unexpected staffing gaps or just trying to catch up on production, I can step in and help keep things moving, from brewing and cellaring to packaging and cleanup.
What if we’re running behind or short staffed?
Do you help with canning runs and packaging days?
Yes, packaging support is a big part of what I do. That includes running canning lines, prepping and breaking down equipment, maintaining flow during runs, and helping troubleshoot issues that slow things down. Clean, efficient packaging days make a huge difference, and having an extra set of experienced hands can take a lot of pressure off your team.
In many cases, yes. Brewing schedules can change quickly, and unexpected issues come up all the time. If I have availability, I can step in to help cover brew days, packaging runs, or general production needs with minimal lead time.
Can you step in on short notice?
Yes, more often than not, all work is done on-site at your brewery. The goal is to integrate seamlessly with your existing team and processes, not disrupt them. I’ll adapt to your setup, your systems, and your workflow so everything continues to run as smoothly as possible.
Do you work on-site with our team?
How much does it cost to hire wulfcraft brewing?
Pricing depends on the scope of work, the frequency of support, and the specific needs of your brewery. Some clients need occasional help for a packaging day, while others bring me in regularly each week. The best way to get an accurate estimate is to reach out and talk through what you’re looking for.
No, there’s no requirement for long-term commitments. Some breweries prefer ongoing support, while others just need help for a short period of time. The setup is flexible, so you can bring in support when you need it without being locked into anything long-term.
Do you require long-term contracts?
Wulfcraft Brewing is built around hands-on, practical support. Instead of just offering recommendations, I’m actively working alongside your team to get things done. It’s less about theory and more about keeping your brewery running efficiently, solving problems in real time, and making sure the beer in your tanks and cans is where it should be.
