Ale Asylum plans new $6.75 million brewery
Ale Asylum opened in 2006 and began brewing 2,500 barrels a year. In 2010, the brewery made 7,200 barrels of beer compared to 5,500 in 2009 and is on track to reach 10,500 this year.
The new facility would allow for the production of 46,000 barrels a year and increase the number of employees from 22 to between 40 and 50 within the first two years. After establishing a statewide presence, the brewery plans for distribution in Chicago and Minneapolis.
Ale Asylum expects to pass 25k barrels by 2012 so it seems like they will outgrow that 46k barrel ceiling pretty quickly.
