Our inspiring environment, welcoming atmosphere, and community-focused events will bring people together. The beer we make will set us apart and draw local and regional patrons back to Jackson for more.
Who We Are
Troy Craft
Head Brewer
Whenever there was a chance to learn, or improve, he had the passion and drive to get there. Troy spent many months home brewing and volunteering at breweries. Eventually, finding his home at Dark Horse Brewing Company in Marshall, MI, he spent 8 years working from the bottom to the top; 1 year in packaging, 2 years in the cellar, 3 years shift brewing, and 2 years as Head Brewer managing a team of four brewers. Here he learned the importance and impact fermentation has on beer flavor, its quality and stability, as well as various process techniques and manipulation of ingredients.
Troy’s position at Ogma Brewing Company will cover all facets of recipe design and creation, inventory management, process efficiency and equipment maintenance, record keeping and reporting, and educating staff about Ogma Brewing Company and their beers.
Kevin Craft

Leveraging 20+ years in residential and commercial construction, Kevin is Project Manager at Ogma and is responsible for total project management. This will include the monitoring of budgets, negotiating subcontracts, and providing day-to-day communication with the project team to ensure jobs are done right, remain on schedule and finish within budget.
Kevin will also control the build out of the brewpub and will be cross trained as a brewer to help Troy with production needs.
