Mad Dog was Keith Mahoney's nickname. He will leave it at that. What he will say is that he named a craft cider brand after it.
MadDog Craft Cider is a premium craft cider label, built from the ground up in the Hungarian market. The range covers both classic craft cider and fruit craft ciders, designed for bars, restaurants, and hospitality partners who want something genuinely different on the menu. Getting that brand established here, in a market where cider is still earning its place, is the milestone they are most proud of.
The next twelve months are about building on that. More brand awareness, wider distribution, and continuing to introduce Hungarian hospitality to what craft cider can actually be.
Keith had been coming to IHBC events for years before Mad Dog Cider existed. He knew the members, he knew the community, and when the business launched, he felt it was simply time to join and give something back.
If you work in hospitality, run a bar or restaurant, or simply know someone who should have Mad Dog Cider on their menu, Keith would love to hear from you.
