Beer Birthday: Max Finnance

Today is the 40th birthday — The Big 4-O — of Max Finnance. Max who until quite recently was the Senior Manager, Education & Training at Artisanal Brewing Ventures, the group that owns Sixpoint Brewing, Southern Tier and Victory Brewing. He’s also an Advanced Cicerone. I first got to know Max through Emily Sauter, and have now spent enough time with him to know he’s a great ambassador for beer. Join me in wishing Max a very happy birthday.
