Max is a good friend and a coworker to many of us in and around the beer industry.  He fell ill due to Ulcerative Colitis shortly before Christmas and has been in the hospital since then.  Max is on the road to recovery but will face mounting medical bills and he and Rachel are expecting their first child in April.  We're hoping to alleviate some of the stress on both of them as Max works to get healthy enough to return to selling again.  He's one of the good guys!  Anything helps and they appreciate all the support.
