The Beer Traveller

Ale Asylum was one of the breweries that Jaime recommended.  It was located in an office park surrounded by ‘normal’ offices.  The inside was that of cosmopolitan billiards room w/ a dark twist.  A pool table, darts, & high bar tables.  They also had an outdoor patio, but I never made it out to that. 
I met Tony & Kara, both avid beer drinkers.  I think Kim was actually more up on her game than Tony, but both great peeps.  Congrats Kara for being the quickest guestbook entry after receiving the link.  Angela started my process, but I spent more time talking with the other bartender, Tovah (a fellow NY’r).  Also met patrons Scott, Shawn & wife Paula, Kim, & Sandy.  Sandy reminded me of the female version of Norm (but much better looking) when she mentioned she’s in there about 5x/week.

AA makes some quality & potent beers.  Overall, their beers ranked a little higher with only their Gold Digger Blonde falling into the Drinkable category.  Three out of the 9 received an Exceptional;they were Contorter Porter, Happy Ending Belgian, & Madtown Nut Brown.  Their Hatha-Weizen had a strong, but good banana flavor while their Hopalicious Pale was more like an IPA.

Odd location, but it was obvious they knew what they were doing & their regulars backed them 100%.
