    This 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.

    Seafood 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.

    $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.

    The 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!

    Flights are $15. Try out their pilot batch beers. The pulled pork sandwich is good!

    Jennifer 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!

    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.

    Serve their own brews; lots of nice outdoor space. No TVs so don't go there to watch sports.

    Not only is the beer delicious, but we ordered 3 pizzas to split amongst us and all varieties were the bees knees.

    After 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.
