Welcome to our PASSION.
Established by Mike and Joan Doble in 2016, The Explorium Brewpub brings together friendly service, tasty house-made beer, and great food at a reasonable price. The Doble family has a long history in brewing and brewpubs, with four breweries and restaurants in three states. Drawing from the best of the original Doble family brewery, Tampa Bay Brewing Company in Ybor City (Tampa), FL, Mike and Joan offer small batch, hand-crafted beer and a menu with lots of flavor from our Wisconsin home.
The goal of The Explorium Brewpub is to have a broad offering of beer styles and flavors that appeal to a wide range of palates. Our brewers pride themselves in producing beers that appeal to the craft beer enthusiast, but also the beer drinker who may not have explored the flavors of craft beer.
We love to educate those who are unfamiliar with hand-crafted beer. Stop in and see what the fuss is all about.
