Family-Owned, Community-DRIVEN.
In 2021, Adam and Julie Kraft left their life in Florida, drawn back to Adam’s roots in Kansas to bring a new vision to Augusta.
Adam, a retired law enforcement officer with 25 years of service, now continues his commitment to the United States Coast Guard.
His dedication to both his community and his country often calls him away from home, making his dream of Park Bench Brewing Company even more meaningful.
Alongside him, Julie brings her expertise in organization and finance from her career in county government, making her the backbone of Park Bench's operations.
With the support of their teenage daughter, Olivia, and other family members, the Krafts are transforming the historic Winchester building in the Red Brick District.
They’re preserving the building’s 108-year-old character to create a brewery that nods to Augusta’s past while crafting a future for Park Bench.
Driven by Adam's passion for brewing and Julie’s business savvy, Park Bench Brewing is more than just a place for great beer—it’s the realization of a family dream, deeply connected to community and tradition.
