🗒️Mad Malts Review

At First Glance

I got it from the moment I stepped into Mad Malts – this isn’t your average brewery. It’s situated in a former car repair shop, but, trust me, it’s cozier than it sounds! You wouldn’t expect a converted garage to be inviting, but life’s full of surprises.

The Beers?

Let’s get down to the nitty-gritty: the beer. I’ve been to my fair share of breweries, but Mad Malts? They’re doing something special. Their beer selection? Spot on.

Whether you’re craving something fruity like a Blood Orange IPA or feeling adventurous enough for flavors like kudzu, they’ve got your back.

And for my dark beer lovers out there – look no further. Their dark beers, especially the stouts and porters, are some of my best. I’d even go as far as to say they brew the best dark beers in the South. Quite a claim, right? But drop by and prove me wrong!

What’s the Buzz Around?

Everyone seems to be raving about the Raspberry Blonde and the Walnut Porter. And you know what? They’re onto something. It’s like they say, the proof is in the pudding, or in this case, the beer. Oh, and word to the wise: don’t leave without trying their amber. It’s a winner in my books.

Not Just About the Beer

The ambiance? Aces. Inside, it’s spacious and comfy. You can feel the pulse of the place with an open brewing environment. It’s like watching magic unfold while sipping on your drink. But if you’re like me and cherish the great outdoors, their backyard is where it’s at. Picture this: a vast space, a warm fire pit, and the soft hum of live music in the background. Pure bliss!

The Mad Malts Team

Oh, and let’s not forget the stars behind the bar. The staff? Top-notch. They treated this newbie like an old friend. Got questions? Ask away. They’re there to help and guide you, making sure your beer choice hits the mark.

A Few Tips from Me to You

Fancy some live music? Swing by at night. If jazz’s your jam, Wednesdays are for you. Food-wise, they might not have a sprawling menu, but the occasional food truck outside? It’s the cherry on top. Parking’s a bit tight, so coming early wouldn’t hurt.

In a Nutshell

If I were to sum up Mad Malts in a phrase? It’d be “a brew-full experience.” Give Mad Malts a shot if you’re ever in Huntsville. It’s a hidden gem waiting to be discovered. Will I be back? Absolutely!

Verdict: A must-visit for anyone looking for top-tier beers in a relaxed, authentic setting.

🍻Beers to try at Mad Malts

  1. Raspberry Blonde: A perfect blend of fruity notes with a blonde ale’s light, crisp attributes.
  2. Walnut Porter: Another top recommendation. If you’re into dark beers, this might be your go-to. Finding a porter that stands out is always refreshing, and this one seems to do just that.
  3. Blood Orange IPA: This one might surprise you even if you’re not a typical IPA fan. With the tanginess of blood orange beautifully balancing the typical bitterness of an IPA, it’s worth a try.
  4. Espresso Porter: This is likely a must-try for those who love a coffee kick in their beer. Combining the rich flavors of coffee with the depth of a porter can be a winning combination.
  5. D-Day IPA: If you’re a hop enthusiast and love your IPAs, this one’s got a name that suggests it’s a force to be reckoned with.
  6. Amber: As per personal experience, this one truly stood out among the samples. A good amber ale is all about balance, and Mad Malts seems to have gotten it right.

In addition to these, Mad Malts has an impressive array of other beers. It’s always a good idea to ask the bartender for samples or recommendations based on your taste preferences. Who knows, you might stumble upon your next favorite beer! 🍻
