About Oakley Taproom

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.

Nestled in the heart of Oakley, the space was intentionally designed to be a true neighborhood gathering place where people can connect, celebrate, and feel a sense of belonging. 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.

We are MadTree. Rooted in Cincy. Planted in Purpose. 

MadTree is committed to building a diverse, equitable, and inclusive workforce that inspires madness while being rooted in purpose. We offer a competitive compensation package plus great benefits like subsidized health insurance, a retirement plan with a match, free mental health therapy visits, paid time off, and many other great perks.
