MadTree Brewing Archives - The Gnarly Gnome

MadTree, even as they continue to change and evolve somehow manage to feel more and more like themselves. On this week's episode of Cincy Brewcast we talk about how MadTree fits into the picture of Cincinnati Beer today, and how they continue to do what they do. Head Brewer Brittany Frey shares her thoughts about the industry and where its going - and we OF COURSE - drink a few beers along the way...

I love cocktails, and I also like the simplicity of cracking open a can instead of mixing a whole bunch of stuff up myself. That’s why I love MadTree’s line of Sway cocktails… they make it easy for a lazy lawn ornament like me. I sat down with Brittany Frey and Sean Cox to talk about this collaboration with the folks over at New Riff. We cover it all, and you’re going to wa...

MadTree Brewing Company is certainly a household name here in Cincinnati. They make great beer, they have a killer taproom, and they provide an excellent company that is able to create a place where people can build their careers. When you look at it from the outside in, they nailed it. It’s not enough for the company, though, as it rounds the ten year mark. They’re constantly trying t...

In a big move for a brewery that’s relied on a great food partner for ten years – MadTree made a lot of waves this month when they announced that they’d be bringing their food program under their own MadTree banner starting next year.  While I’m still working on a BIG blog post to talk all about my thoughts on the changing world of food inside of our craft breweries –...

Aside from the beginning of this episode where it is AGAIN, me solo in the studio… this week’s episode is fantastic. I am always more than thrilled to get Brady and Kenny from MadTree on the show. They are at the helm of a brewery that has become an inspiration for breweries all across Cincinnati. When you talk to them, you can clearly see why, also. This is a brewery that pushes it&#8...

I was worried about a place like Madtree when all this… “stuff” hit the fan. I wasn’t sure how a brewery their size with a taproom that is as busy as it is would weather a storm in which their taproom doesn’t exist. This show made me feel good, and I hope it brings some of that to your podcast player this week, too. We all need a smile, we need to remember that our br...

We take the opportunity this week to sit down with MadTree co-founders Kenny McNutt and Brady Duncan to explore not just who MadTree is today, but who they want to be in the future. We explore how they plan on refocusing that focus of it all, and take a few peeks behind the curtain at what's coming down the pike. It's a fantastic show, and definitely one that you won't want to miss!!

I was joined by Christopher Walker from Have a Drink, Mike Stuart from MadTree and Greg Avola from Untappd to explore how the Untappd app has changed the act of drinking beer for so many people in the world. What is it? Where is it going? We have so many questions to throw at Greg and he fields them all. In addition we pestered the Brew Professor himself about MadTree and this mysterious Sensorium...

Join us as we explore anything and everything barrel aged. We sat down at the wonderful MadTree brewing, deep in the heart of their barrel warehouse for a show that couldn't happen anywhere else. What does it mean to barrel age something, and why in the world would you do it? We explore the magic of the process.

It’s a big announcement, and one that warrants a special edition of the show – MadTree is not just moving, they’re expanding exponentially.  The brewery is making a move from their lowly, small warehouse into the massive 18+ Million Dollar MadTree 2.0 facility in the former Rock-Tenn industrial site  in Oakley. This wide ranging interview includes discussion of the plans for t...

We are honored to be joined by one of the foremost brewers in Cincinnati, Kenny McNutt of Madtree Brewing on this edition of Cincy Brewcast.

We don’t let Kenny and Lauren get away without asking about Madtree in general; from the beginning (includ...
