The End is Nigh for Mad Fox Taproom and Mason Inn

2218 Wisconsin Avenue, NW

Update from Mad Fox’s Facebook (thanks again to Jamie for the update):

“We regret to announce that as of Tuesday, 27 March, 2018 we have closed our Glover Park, D.C. Taproom. This decision to close comes after careful consideration and much discussion. Unfortunately, we are not able to maintain the profit margins necessary to keep the location viable. The Brewpub (production brewery and full-service restaurant) in Falls Church, Virginia is still open and will continue to make and distribute beer around the DC Metro area including some of your favorite bars. We want to thank the residents of Glover Park and our loyal fans for their support and patronage over the last 2-1/2 years.

When we opened this location in August of 2015, we were warmly welcomed and have worked very hard to be proactive supporters of such a wonderful community. We will miss you all and hope you will make the trek across the river to the location of our flagship brewpub at 444 W. Broad Street, Falls Church, Virginia. As mentioned, you will still be able to find Mad Fox’s award-winning beers around the city including Nationals Park. As a company we intend to continue to grow our distribution presence and will always have a seat waiting for you at the Brewpub bar.”

“Reading rumors in Glover Park list Serv that mad fox taproom is closing, got any corroboration?”

I’ve emailed Mad Fox Taproom and am still waiting to hear back from them. The Glover Park Listserv reported on Sunday:

“Mad Fox closing today”

and this morning:

“And Mason Inn is closing at the end of this month. Could not come to terms with the landlord.”

Updates as more is known on both fronts.
