Ale Asylum - New Beer

just got growler this weekend finished it tonight. Awesome beer and I was just talking to a friend about how they should really start bottling it. Nice to hear!

 

Good times for Madison beer, good times.

 

I still feel this is one of the beers they should have bottled from the start. One of my favorites from AA and underrated IMO.

 

Nice - loved this beer when I had it at the brewery a while back... hopefully some of the bottles make it down here to Chicago.

 

Nice!

 

Really cool label...the beer...not so much...wasn't impressed when I had Demento the weekend of the Great Taste. Everybody and their brother is trying to do a session pale but very few have pulled it off.

 

tried Demento on saturday at CW's GABF

not all that fired up about it either

 

Never saw an ale asylum bomber when I think about it... Any info if this seasonal going to be a standard six pack format?

 

How are the bottles of Big Slick? I picked up a single tonight that I will get to tomorrow.

 

This is a nice non-imperial stout. Really big aromas and flavors that many stouts lack.

 

Looked at the usual spots in Milwaukee and can only find Demento. Maybe I missed Big Slick, or is there just less of it?

 

It will be interesting to see what the 3 new hoppy beers will be in 2015.

"The Madison brewery is making big changes to its portfolio in 2015, and is expanding its commitment to hoppy brews. Plans are in the works to realign seasonal releases into a monthly rotation in which a hop-oriented brew is succeeded by a malt-focused beer and followed in turn by a Belgian-style release, at which point the rotation starts again. Ale Asylum will aggressively court more interest from hop heads with three new IPAs: Velveteen Habit in January, High Coup in April and Subcultcha in October. There are also plans for a special party on June 20, the Saturday before Father's Day, when it will release brewmaster Dean Coffey's take on a Russian imperial stout. The brewery is hoping that it will become an annual celebration on the craft beer calendar, akin to Surly Brewing's Darkness Day and Three Floyds Brewing's Dark Lord Day."

 

They are bottling a ton of new stuff this year. Too much to remember but I know Pantheon will be one.

 

I don't know if Ale Asylum has the cachet of Surly or Three Floyds to have a giant release party as successful as these two.

 

Gotta start somewhere.

 

If Lakefront can do it...
