EXPLORIUM MUG CLUB
Explorium is a place to gather, taste new beers, share stories, and meet some really great people. With your help, we've created a gathering place that feels like a home away from home. If you stop in to visit our pubs, you will see mugs hanging all around our restaurants, and each of these mugs belong to an awesome member of our #ExploriumFam. When you join our mug club, you are joining our family.

PURPOSE
The Lifetime Mug Club is offered from time-to-time to raise money for specific expansion projects that The Explorium Brewpub seeks to pursue. The group of lifetime members becomes a defacto board of sorts to assist the ownership team with decision making and helping guide the development of The Explorium Brewpub brand.

Your Mug Club Membership is good for life! In addition to the benefits that you already enjoy as a Mug Club Member (listed above), Lifetime Mug Club Members will always enjoy:
• Special Lifetime Mug Club Member mug
• 50% off all Explorium branded merchandise, 10% off food any day of the week
• A four pack of beer each month for life!
• Priority for beer dinner and event tickets
• Recognition as a Lifetime Mug Club Member on our member wall
• Ability to establish a house account to be invoiced for your visits monthly
THE PAYBACK
We are viewing this investment as a buy-in to our brand, but we plan to pay back 100% of your investment within the first five years of your Lifetime Mug Club Membership through the following consideration:
• Annual Lifetime Mug Club Member gathering with food and drink for you and your guest to receive updates from the ownership group. A value of 2 people x $40 x 5 years is $400.
• A one-time certificate to be redeemed for a Tour and Tasting for up to eight people with Mike and Joan Doble. This is a $350 value to be redeemed anytime through advance reservation.
• Annual Lifetime Member beer dinner for the member and a guest $150 value x 5 years is $750
• A free four pack of cans monthly which is a $18 value x 12 months x 5 years is $1,080
• Gratification that you helped a small family business continue to grow and expand in a challenging market: Priceless!
At the end of your lifetime, we will retire your member number and mug on our barback.
SOME MINOR DETAILS
The Lifetime Mug Club Member numbers are issued in a specific range of numbers and will vacate your current Mug Club number. Your space and original mug number in the original Mug Club will be re-sold. Lifetime mugs have their own hooks for storage behind the bar. You have the option to allow your spouse, significant other, or friend to buy your original mug club spot, otherwise we’ll sell the spot to the next person on the waiting list.
