In August 2015, the Mad Fox Taproom opened in the Glover Park neighborhood of Washington, DC. We're proud to provide a unique dining experience that pairs our handcrafted, award-winning beer with an appealing menu created in a scratch kitchen using locally-sourced and sustainable products whenever possible. All of our craft beers are brewed on-site using the finest ingredients sourced from across the country and internationally as well. Taste the difference with our appealing brewpub menu featuring hand-tossed artisan pizzas, creative burgers, signature frickles, weekly specials and more. Our 63-foot bar serves as the centerpiece of the brewpub where we showcase up to ten standard, house-brewed draught beers on tap as well as a rotating selection of seasonal brews in German, English, Belgian and American styles. Taste our cask conditioned proper Real Ales served through water-jacketed Angram beer engines which ensure that every pint is served at properly conditioned cellar temperatures.

On tap at the brewpub. Aroma was yeasty, fruity, spices. Great spice character on this one. Flavor was a bit tart, sweet, spices (cloves). As it warmed, notes of lemon and grapefruit came out.

Growler pours a translucent, deep brown with a thin white head. Nose is fairly mild, a little malty, a little sweet, brown sugar. Flavor is sweet, malty, a little fruit. Full bodied, slightly hot. Forgettable.

Served on draft at the brewpub on 10/20/10. Pours a hazy brown color with a medium offwhite head. Decent head retention and lacing. Aroma of caramel, butter and toffee. The taste is very buttery with some caramel, bitter leafy hops and a nutty finish. Medium bodied. Seems like a good ESB ruined by a diacetyl issue, which sadly is not the last I ran into at this brewery.
