About The Owners

After meeting in 2013 Scott and Leah honed their craft of brewing beer in Asheville, North Carolina. Working at breweries such as Asheville Brewing Co, Highland Brewing, and Hi-Wire Brewing, they became quite familiar with good beer. Scott holds degrees in Molecular Biology from the University of South Florida, and Brewing Science from the University of California Davis. Leah graduated from Siebel Institute with a degree in Brewing Technology.

Brewing an array of classic styles and a close attention to detail for clean, well balanced lagers, the couple wanted to bring their crisp brews to Northern Michigan. With Leah originally being from Traverse City, plans for Silver Spruce fell in to place perfectly with the fast growing craft beer scene of the area.

Now with two kiddos at home and the brewery constantly evolving, the family is busier than ever. When they do manage to have free time you’ll likely see them on a bike trail, golf course, or with fishing poles in hand.
