With 45 employees, Ale Asylum will produce over 20,000 barrels of beer in 2014 and has launched distribution into the Illinois markets of Chicago, Rockford and Champaign. By comparison, the New Glarus Brewing Company sold 146,000 barrels last year, making it the 17th largest craft brewery in the nation, but distributes only in Wisconsin. This month, Ale Asylum is partnering with SunPeak to install a 100 kilowatt photovoltaic solar system atop their building. Helped with a $75,000 grant through the state Focus on Energy program, Ale Asylum is looking both to lower its carbon footprint and cut its monthly bills with Madison Gas & Electric in half.
