This is our Beverage Director Max. He loves agave spirits, cocktails, and Swedish death metal. Maxwell Reis originally hails from Napa, California and currently resides in beautiful Los Angeles where he curates the bar program here, at Gracias Madre. Max fell in love with agave spirits during his 10 years spent working behind LA bars, and solidified that love by taking every opportunity to experience mezcal and tequila’s production first hand. When he’s not in Oaxaca filling water bottles full of mezcal, he’s here, preaching ethical agave practices and making some of the best cocktails in the city. If you see him behind the bar, say ‘hi’, but know you’ll be leaving as enamored with mezcal as he is.
