Beer at Madfish

Ahhh, beer. It seems that beer is the trendy beverage these days. Not wine... not martinis... beer. There are bars devoted solely to the glory and culinary experience that is often now associated with beer, like our Cattlemen Road neighbor, The Cock & Bull Pub. Microbrews are increasingly popular, as are IPAs, seasonal brews, stouts, porters and just about anything "different."

Now, Madfish is known to be more of a liquor and wine type of establishment, but we want you to know that we have some great beers available. We always have a few featured and special beers that aren't on our regular "Beer List," so don't be afraid to ask us what we've got on hand!

Of course, we have your "regular" brews: Miller Lite, Bud, Corona, Heinekin (& Heinekin Light!), etc. We carry MGD 64 & Bud Select, as well as Newcastle, Beck's regular, dark & light. We've also got Bass Ale in a bottle, which is a popular choice amongst our regulars.

Some of the newer and more interesting bottles on our list include Sierra Nevada Torpedo, Stella Artois and Abita Jockamo. One of our newest favorites is Arrogant Bastard Ale... it says on the bottle that you probably won't like it, but we've found plenty of customers who can't get enough. We also carry Redbridge for our gluten-free friends.

By the makers of Arrogant Bastard is Stone Smoked Porter, with a definite smokiness and some chocolate & coffee undertones. The most popular new beer we feature is Left Hand Milk Stout, which has won awards all over the place. Our regular bar guests (okay, and our beer enthusiast employees) really love this one.

We don't have a whole lot of space for taps, and we have a few staples, like Miller Lite, Mich Ultra & Yuengling, but we do like to keep what we have on tap rotating and fresh. We carry a Sam Adams seasonal brew, which right now is their Noble Pilsner. We're also pouring Brooklyn Brown Ale and are about to switch out Bud heavy for Mojo Risin', a double IPA from the Boulder Beer Company. Keep an eye out for tap handles to change every few weeks!

If you have any questions about the beers we carry, or have any suggestions about what you'd like to see in our bar, leave a comment!
