The Oakley Taproom is MadTree's flagship location and the heart of our company. It's the place where community, craft, and culture come together.
Transforming a former paperboard recycling facility and airplane hangar into a 50,000 sq. ft. brewery and beer destination, our Oakley Taproom opened in early 2017. As craft beer was booming in Cincinnati and beyond, the expansion positioned MadTree as a major force in the local beer community and marked our evolution from a beloved neighborhood brewery into one of the region's most iconic craft beer destinations. Today, our Oakley Taproom serves as the home of our beer production, our corporate offices, and the teams who help bring our purpose to life every single day.
Featuring expansive indoor spaces, a massive beer garden and patio, a signature living wall, large private event venues, and year-round programming, the Taproom creates energy and experiences that go far beyond simply serving beer.
As the flagship of the MadTree brand, the Taproom carries forward our commitment to warm hospitality, thoughtful experiences, and creating spaces where community thrives. More than a brewery or taproom, this is the living heartbeat of MadTree; a place built to gather, celebrate, and grow alongside the community that helped make us who we are.

MadTree is committed to building a diverse, equitable, and inclusive workforce that is rooted in Cincy and planted in purpose.
