I like the "dive" ambiance of this location, but their beers are pretty nasty, I'm sorry. I did a tasting while in town visiting at 2 different locations and there was not a single one that I enjoyed, honestly. I finally ordered a pint of the least offensive and struggled to get it all down. I had zero interest in staying as I didn't want another pint of anything they brew.
After 3 weeks in Madison and trying as many local brews as possible, I came to the conclusion that Great Dane and Capital are not good breweries in terms of my taste preferences. Asylum Ale is the big dawg in town and is the force to be reckoned with in Madison. That's my final analysis and I'm sticking to it!
