Explorer Brewing Company in Kelso, Washington is a veritable behemoth of variety – 28 beers roar from the taps, 27 of them forged on‑site with the kind of dedication that would make a master chef blush. The crew has clearly decided that mediocrity is a foreign word, because every pour feels like a small triumph, whether you’re sampling a tart sour that puckers like a mischievous grin or a ruby‑red ale that glints with the confidence of a seasoned champion.
For those who prefer something that isn’t hopped, a guest cider stands by, quietly judging the non‑beer crowd with a smile. The real magic, however, lies in the flight of tasters, a carefully curated parade of flavours assembled by staff who seem to have an innate sense of balance (they probably spent a few years perfecting their palate in a cellar somewhere). And if you’re the type who loves a gimmick that actually works, their “dragon boat” flights—unique packaging that looks as daring as it tastes—prove that whimsy can coexist with top‑notch craftsmanship.
In short, Explorer isn’t just a brewery; it’s a playground for the curious palate, offering a steady stream of well‑made brews that manage to be both adventurous and impeccably executed.
Explorer Brewing Company is highly praised for its unique beers with flavor and character, as well as its welcoming atmosphere. The tap selection rotates regularly, offering a variety of options for beer enthusiasts and newcomers alike, including ciders and seltzers.
