*****************
Join Max Miller, President and Chief Tasting Officer of “Raise Your Spirits” – a Pittsburgh based company that excels in elevating your understanding of fine spirits, engages you with other spirit lovers, and lets you experience the best life has to offer; not because you can, but because you owe it to yourself!
Max hails from the city of brotherly love, Philadelphia, a city with a history that is deeply intertwined into the very fabric of the United States. His penchant for literature and the arts is only surpassed by his zeal for the finer things in life. A successful attorney with an MBA from the Kellogg School of Management, who has turned his endeavors towards the realm of brand management, Max has a hearty thirst for knowledge and for fine ales (a thirst quenched during his time spent in the United Kingdom) and fine spirits. He is well versed in the differentiation of the complex flavors found in the super premium spirits and he enjoys reading about the history of the brands, the science behind production and the often whimsical anecdotes that are unique to each spirit. Having spent time in Europe, Asia, South America South Africa and the Middle East, Max has an appreciation for cultural variety and the global need for people to experience the finer things in life and to raise their spirits in both the literal and figurative sense. His vision is simple: make every experience memorable, exceptional and uniquely yours.
Guests are invited to gather, mingle, and enjoy cocktails (cash bar), complimentary cigars and appetizers in the pub and on the patio, before adjourning to the dining room for dinner at 5pm.
