Mad Fox Brewing Company Expanding into DC

Mad Fox Brewing Company Taproom (Mad Fox Taproom) is slated to open at 2218 Wisconsin Ave. NW by the end of March 2014, depending on renovations needed and the permitting process.

“Glover Park is a wonderful neighborhood that deserves a great beer bar like the Mad Fox Taproom,” Mad Fox CEO and Executive Brewer Bill Madden said in a news release. 

Madden has been searching for a location in DC for the past 20 months, scouting out 27 neighborhoods throughout the District, the news release noted. “Glover Park offers an ideal fit for our concept and shares similarities with Falls Church in its demographics and overall environment," he said. "And just like in Falls Church, we look forward to becoming an active and positive member of the community, contributing to both the economy and the culinary options of the area.”

The Mad Fox Taproom will showcase its award-winning handcrafted beers with draught and English-style cask service, with up to 24 draught and cask options. Diners can expect a full menu with appetizers, sandwiches, burgers, salads and small plates.

“All of the beers will be brewed in Falls Church in our 15-barrel brewery," Madden said. "We have plenty of capacity in our brewery and we’ll be able to serve all of our Falls Church fans, wholesale clients and the Glover Park taproom without any compromises. Though the spotlight will be on our beers, our food is a key part of our concept and will help the taproom evoke a brewpub environment.”

“Building upon the success of our Falls Church location, we fully expect the Mad Fox Taproom to become a Glover Park destination, with craft beer lovers from all over DC coming to taste our beers.” Madden said. “I’m a big believer in ‘a rising tide lifts all boats,’ and I expect other Glover Park businesses to benefit from our presence, like they have in Falls Church. I can’t wait to bring the Mad Fox atmosphere and experience to the iconic city of Washington, DC.”
