About Me
Hi, I’m Max, an active duty Green Beret with 19 years in the Army, and a lifelong fermentation enthusiast. My journey into brewing started completely by accident when I was 11 years old, growing up in the Appalachian mountains of northern Alabama.
One summer I picked wild blackberries, crushed them with sugar, and left them in a mason jar overnight in our barn. The next day, the jar had built up pressure. I asked my dad why, and he explained that I’d just discovered how wine is made. From that moment on, I was hooked.
I began experimenting with wild fruits, learning how nature and science work together to create amazing flavors. A few years later, I picked up distillation, which inspired the name Spring Branch Brewing, a nod to the mountain stills often hidden near small, cold streams for their fresh water.
In 2013, I moved to Washington state and fell in love with craft beer brewing. I started homebrewing beer and quickly became obsessed with perfecting the process. Over the years, I’ve taught countless friends and fellow brewers, sharing the art and science of fermentation with anyone eager to learn.
Now, I bring that same passion directly to you, helping people discover just how fun, simple, and rewarding brewing can be, whether it’s through hands on in home classes or easy to use fresh wort delivery.
