By FBWorld Team

While the name may lead one to believe that things are a little crazy at the brewery, the fact is that all their beers are "brewed in sanity." The four beers they provided samples of were all quite enjoyable, so there's no need to be off-your-rocker to visit the Ale Asylum.

Here's a breakdown of the beers:
