Brewer Charlie Buettner is leaving Mad Fox Brewing Company to help a start-up a production brewery in Lorton. Buettner, one of Mad Fox Brewing ’s first employees, started a month before Bill Madden opened the award winning gastro pub in July of 2010. Madden will take on a greater role with the brewery and is promoting one of Mad Fox’s current brewers, Brad Hulewicz to Lead Brewer and extending brewer Max Courington’s hours to full time.

A farewell party for Buettner will be held at Mad Fox on Thursday, February 5 from 4 – 6 p.m. at Mad Fox Brewing Company, 444 W. Broad Street. To learn more about Mad Fox, visit www.madfoxbrewing.com.
