Meet the Team
In 2015, three Maryland terrapins had a vision to start a brewery in their home state. Since then, the vision has become a reality, and the team has grown. Meet the Crooked Crab Family:
Adam Osborn - Jedi (Brew) MasterCrooked Crab's Head Brewer Adam hails from the swamps of New Jersey by way of Central California, where he graduated from the UC Davis Master Brewers Program. He honed his craft across the Chesapeake Bay at another popular Maryland brewery before stepping into his current role at the Crab. When not brewing he can be found riding a skateboard, eating trail mix in the woods, or out cruising on his motorcycle.
