OUR BREWERIES

EXPLORIUM GREENDALE

OUR BREWPUB

Our Greendale brewery is located in Southridge Mall! (But fear not, you don't have to go in the mall to find us.... just use Google!) You'll find us at the southwest entry to the mall near Macy's.  Our place features a large outdoor patio, firepit, and year-round outdoor bar where smoking is permitted.  Our patio seating is in high demand during the summer months and is available on a first-come first-served basis. 

Inside you'll find a cozy brewpub with some of the best staff around. We have both high-top seating in the bar area and regular dining seating in the dining room.  

 

OUR BREWERY

From the dining area you can see our brewhouse and three of our seven 10 barrel (310 gallon) fermentors. But the vast majority of our brewing set-up  is in the basement...where we have four more 10 barrel fermentors, four 20 barrel fermentors, and about 22 beer-brite tanks that hold finished beer. We also do all of our clean barrel aging and canning in this cellar of Southridge as well. Once a month look for fresh cans of your Explorium favorites! We release  cans  of barrel aged beers on an annual basis. 

EXPLORIUM THIRD WARD

OUR BREWPUB

 

Our Third Ward brewpub has spacious seating in several different areas of our beautiful historic  space, located in the Pritzlaff Building right on St. Paul Avenue.  Stop in for a casual dinner, reserve a table  for a casual gathering, or rent out a private space perfect for your event. 

OUR BREWERY

 

Our Third Ward brewery offers an impressive setup! While enjoying your meal, take a moment to check out the tanks in the northeast corner of the building. This area features our 10-barrel brewhouse, six 10-barrel fermenters, and two 10-barrel lagering tanks. If you happen to visit on a brewing day, you’ll be treated to the delightful aromas of your favorite Explorium Brews being crafted just for you!

In the cellar, we have a cold storage area housing 16 beer-brite tanks. Additionally, our cellar at the Pritzlaff Building is home to our sour barrel-aged beer collection—an exciting stop on our brewery tour! Inside our dining room, you’ll also find two fermenters called foeders, large white oak barrels used to ferment sour beers.
