History
Established in 2009.
Madhouse Brewery began in Newton, IA in 2009. After 5 years of operation as a production-only brewery, we decided to move our operation to Des Moines and open up a taproom alongside our production facility. We began brewing at our new location in April 2014, and our taproom opened up to the public in September of the same year.
