- Tony TandeskiSeptember 11, 2014This place has some incredibly delicious beer choices. If you like hops, you have to try Hopalicious. Madtown Nutbrown is another solid choice. Don't forget to ask about seasonals and limited brews.
Greg SchulzJune 21, 2015Seafood tacos are really good. They tend to switch up the fish, but I've had it with shrimp and barracuda, and both were good. The Belgian beers and IPAs are both good options.
Joanna MerrillMarch 2, 2015$5 brewery tours on sundays are a must. Great food, service, and seasonal beers. Definitely stop by if you're a beer fan.
Brewery tour is a great deal. $5 for a pint, tour, and samples. Very informative.
Brett RMarch 11, 2013The Southwest salad with the crumbled black bean burger is pretty awesome. Make sure it wash it down with a tasty brew... All of them are great!
Elisha LewisApril 17, 2014Amazing beer. Cool building. Order the beer sampler, but bring a friend to share it with! Sample sizes are huge!!!
Jeffrey PoppMarch 14, 2017Never had a bad meal here. IPAs are awesome! THE place to go in the Madison area.
Justin KibbelMay 19, 2013Jennifer on the patio was amazing despite us having a big group and needing to use different payment methods. We were a pain and she was great!
Colby MoorbergMarch 18, 2016Flights are $15. Try out their pilot batch beers. The pulled pork sandwich is good!
AMAZING new joint compared to the old one and the staff is still awesome! Great job Ale Asylum!!
Good food, great beer & nice large outdoor patio. Bike there!
Taryn LindemannMarch 10, 2012Don't ask for water you won't get it! Seems to be very forgetful. Awesome beer thou! Gold digger is awesome!
Carrie BrownDecember 31, 2012Yummy beer...try them all! I liked the Hopalicious and the Gold Digger.
Try the tasting tray—it's not on the menu—to get a set of (large) samples of everything they currently have on tap. My favorite was Ballistic.
Ale asylum brews some of the best belgian style beers around. Try the triple nova. Just don't drink TOO much!
Serve their own brews; lots of nice outdoor space. No TVs so don't go there to watch sports.
Try the Asylum Limited - a rotating special brew that's only available here!
Garrett MalcolmAugust 30, 2010Not only is the beer delicious, but we ordered 3 pizzas to split amongst us and all varieties were the bees knees.
The Blood Red Ale (limited time for February 2013) is fantastic!
Best beer! Bartender does awesome magic tricks!
jake wickeSeptember 11, 2010After the quarter price hike on beers the prices have went from bad to outrageous... Enjoy Ale Asylum beers at other places in Madison for less.
