MadTree Brewing & Lyft Ridesharing Partner To Provide Responsible Ride Home

Partnership provides a discounted ride home when beer drinkers visit the Taproom


CINCINNATI (October 5, 2018) – MadTree Brewing Company, one of Cincinnati’s most popular breweries and maker of the beer named Lift, has partnered with Lyft, the fastest growing rideshare company in the U.S., to make sure craft beer drinkers have a responsible way to get home after a night of drinking. From Thursday through Sunday during the month of October, customers at the MadTree Taproom who take a Lyft ride to there will receive a coupon code for 50% off their ride home (up to $5) when they show their Lyft receipt to a bartender.

“Visiting the Taproom for a fresh pint of Lift, or two, is always a great night out and we want to provide a responsible, easy, on-demand way to get home,” said Chris Stokley, MadTree Brewing Taproom GM. “Plus, we get some extra cars off the road and provide an opportunity for local drivers in the community to earn.”

“We are excited to partner with one of Cincinnati’s favorite breweries and help passengers get a reliable and affordable ride to and from MadTree Brewing Company,” said Demetrius Thomas, Lyft Cincinnati Market Manager. “With the partnership, people can enjoy a Lift and know that Lyft can provide a responsible ride home afterward.”

Lift, a light, crisp, and refreshing German Kölsch-style beer has long been one MadTree’s best-selling beers and is the beer for all occasions -- from hanging out with friends by the campfire to lounging by the pool. Beer drinkers have long considered the name Lift synonymous with using the ridesharing service Lyft.
