After more than a decade brewing in and delivering from Plover, O\u2019so Brewing<\/a> owners Marc and Katina Buttera have taken the plunge into Madison.<\/p>\n

The O\u2019so Madhouse<\/a> taproom opens to the public Wednesday, after several quiet soft openings over the past week. Located in the Marling building at 1817 E. Washington Ave., it\u2019s O\u2019so\u2019s first brick-and-mortar outpost outside of central Wisconsin.<\/span>\n

\"Madhouse
All photos by Chris Lotten<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/span>The Madhouse space is warm, highlighted by Edison bulbs and huge windows that bathe the room in natural light. A large wooden bar and wood accents work well with the concrete floors and steel beams. The room is pretty small, with 14 bar stools and a capacity of 49, but a 34-person patio on East Wash is coming soon. And at some point this summer, a garage door will replace one of the giant street-facing windows to better fuse indoors and out.<\/span>\n

\"Madhouse<\/p>\n

\"Alternate<\/p>\n<\/span>There\u2019s no kitchen, but bar snacks are available: Slide chips and Country Archer jerky. The Madhouse will host food trucks several nights a week, including Ugly Apple and other local vendors. Patrons can carry in dinner or have it delivered from their favorite spots around town, too. The tap list is beer-exclusive, but Madhouse will also stock kombucha and a range of nonalcoholic sodas and waters from Wisco Pop!. Gluten-sensitive patrons can find gluten-free beers from Alt Brew.<\/span>\n

\"Taplines<\/p>\n

\"Glassware<\/p>\n<\/span>But the focus, of course, is the beer. O\u2019so has been making a range of great brews in Portage County since 2007. So why Madison for their new room? \u201cWe wanted to be in Beer Central,\u201d Marc Buttera says.<\/p>\n

In a competitive craft beer market around the state and nation, there are clear business reasons<\/a> for a Madison location. It\u2019s one of Wisconsin\u2019s premier craft markets, so why not bring the product direct to those consumers? But there\u2019s more to it than dollars, cents and new consumers.<\/span>\n

\"Madhouse<\/p>\n

\"Chad<\/p>\n<\/span>For the Butteras and Madhouse general manager Chad Kersey, who joins the O\u2019so team after a long career facilitating the openings of other Madison-area bars and restaurants, one vision for the taproom is as a bridge from Plover: a place to introduce and experiment with new \u201cR&D\u201d beers that will be first available in Madison before they go elsewhere.<\/span>\n

\"Madhouse<\/p>\n<\/span>The company\u2019s year-round releases currently number at nine, but Madhouse customers will find 24 different offerings. This includes mainstays, seasonals, infusions and other experiments. And for folks who want something to take away, there\u2019s a cooler with six-packs, four-packs, bombers and limited releases. Tapped beers can be purchased in crowlers and (probably by next week) growlers.<\/span>\n

\"Madhouse<\/p>\n<\/span>O\u2019so Madhouse braids together the commerce of central Wisconsin with that of the capitol city, and it\u2019s important for Madisonians to think more about how they can support the economies of places beyond Dane County. More to O\u2019so\u2019s point, the Madhouse offers mid-east side residents and visitors more choices for craft beer.<\/p>\n<\/span>O\u2019so Madhouse will be open Monday-Thursday from 3-10 p.m., Friday-Saturday noon-10 p.m., and Sunday noon-5 p.m. The official opening on Wednesday, April 17 at 4 p.m. will feature a meet-and-greet with O\u2019so co-owners Marc and Katina Buttera.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
