Madison, WI — Regional craft brewery Ale Asylum is poised to spread some holiday cheer by launching their first variety pack, Feliz Gravitas. This gravity-focused release features Off Switch, a Double IPA that debuted at their 2016 Ferment Dissent Imperial Stout Festival. The other two brands in the six-pack include Big Slick Stout and Mercy Grand Cru.
“It’s so nice to see two of my favorite cool weather beers from Ale Asylum coming back, Big Slick Stout and the world-class Mercy Grand Cru,” quoted Rob Richards, Wine & Spirits Manager at Festival Foods’s Madison location. “Even more exciting is a new addition, Off-Switch Double IPA. Voluminous amounts of hops are exquisitely balanced by a delicious and decidedly hefty malt spine. A variety six-pack is brilliant, and variety craft packs in general are hot sellers right now. This one is sure to fly off shelves, so get it while you can.”
The brewery is releasing a total of 960 cases throughout Wisconsin and Illinois and predict they will sell out quickly due to the approaching holiday season.
