Brewery Review: MadTree Brewing (Cincinnati, OH)

MadTree Brewing Cincinnati, OH Several customers highly recommended MadTree at Listermann, so we decided to give it a try the following day, and I am happy we did. We arrived shortly after lunch to discover a full house, seriously the inside was packed, but after a few minutes, we were able to get a seat at the bar.

If you do happen to get a seat at the bar, you will be in for a show because the bartenders here stay busy, its constant pours, and they are on the top of their game. The inside is more open-air with large fans circulating air, so I can imagine it getting hot on a super-hot summer day. Prices were reasonable; however, samplers range in price based on their tier. 4oz samples start at $1.25 but can go up to $3.00. A tasting Flight is available and consists of 4 (4oz) Tasters. To-Go Beer is also available for growlers refill's, anywher

Over the last few months, I was fascinated by seeing some of their unique creations like their Cinnamon Roll Chickow, Red Hot Chickow, Blood Orange IPA, and even a Lemon Pound Cake beer. I knew that at some point, I had to make the trip to sample more. Fast forward to last week, and after nearly a long grueling four-month wait, I was finally able to visit Cincinnati as part of a beer tasting vacation. Once we arrived, the first thing
