The editorial take

MadTree Brewing's Oakley Taproom runs more than 30 taps, with at least 20 beers pouring at any time and more than 10 taproom-exclusive beers. Classics like PsycHOPathy IPA, Happy Amber, and MadTree Light Lager anchor a broad year-round and packaged portfolio that also includes Cincitucky Trail Lager, Queen City Pale Ale, and Seeing Colors variants. Beyond beer, the taproom offers craft cocktails and the house-made Sway line of canned vodka sodas. A selection of non-alcoholic options is also available. The scale and consistency of the beer program make this a taproom where the draft list, not a single pour, is the draw.

What should I order?
Start with PsycHOPathy IPA, a year-round classic, or Happy Amber for a malt-forward contrast. MadTree Light Lager is a straightforward year-round option. For a non-beer drink, the Sway Strawberry + Guava canned vodka soda is a house-made choice at 4.5% ABV.
Who will enjoy this place?
Beer drinkers who want a deep draft list with year-round standards and taproom-exclusive options will find plenty to work through. Groups that include non-beer drinkers also have craft cocktails, Sway canned vodka sodas, and non-alcoholic options to choose from.
When should I go?
Happy hour at the Oakley Taproom lists cocktails and SWAY among expected beverages, making it a reasonable window for a drink. The taproom also hosts events such as Bikes & Beers, which includes two complimentary craft beers with registration.
What makes the beverage program distinctive?
More than 30 taps with at least 20 beers on at any time, including more than 10 taproom-exclusive beers, set the beer program apart. The house-made Sway canned vodka cocktail line and craft cocktails give non-beer drinkers dedicated options rather than afterthoughts.
