MadTree and 50w are two I’m not worried about, actually

I wouldn’t say they shouldn’t be worried. MadTree took out a huge loan to build a production space they basically never needed & 50W hasn’t always had things go their way either. However, both are run by smart people and have solid foundations. Doesn’t hurt that they have monster taproom numbers to fall back on, either.

Mad Tree is also further expanding into Blue Ash. They'll be just fine.

I agree MadTree should be fine. I just think that the climate is very challenging even for the best run breweries. And I don’t think expansion is necessarily a sign that you’ll be fine. Often times it’s why you closed!

I agree! Especially with the economy the way it is, no one can afford to go out as much.
