Ale Asylum Releases 12 oz. Curl as New Core Brand

Madison, Wisc. – Ale Asylum, Wisconsin’s third largest craft brewery, today announced it’s releasing its first year-round, packaged lager – the 12 oz. Curl. This seasonal pilsner first debuted a year ago, in March 2017, and because of popular demand, it’s now available for purchase year round in Wisconsin, Illinois and as of next week, throughout Minnesota.

“Over the past few years, our customers have continually asked for a pilsner-style beer,” says Dean Coffey, brewmaster and co-founder of Ale Asylum. “After meeting that demand last Spring with an overwhelming response, we’ve decided to make the 12 oz. Curl one of our core brands. It’s exciting to see one of my personal favorites, the pilsner, making a comeback.”
