BubbleHouse Brewing's Wide-Ranging Beers and the Pub Game You Need to Try (Plus: Crokinole 101)

Learn how BubbleHouse Brewing ensures they have “something for everyone” and the story behind the best pub game you’ve never heard of. John and April Miller, owners of BubbleHouse Brewing Company, discuss crafting a diverse beer portfolio, providing unique taproom experiences, and their journey from corporate life to brewing. They discuss the challenges and rewards of brewing clean, simple beers without relying on heavy adjuncts and the importance of community engagement by creating an inclusive taproom atmosphere. John, who is also BubbleHouse’s brewer, also shares his experience getting Level 1 and 2 Cicerone Certifications from College of DuPage’s Business of Craft Beer education program and explains why Skeleton Key Brewery’s Spare Keys incubator program was instrumental in making BubbleHouse what it is today. After the beer break, the Millers delve into specific beers including their Isle of Lyle Mexican Lager, 10 Second Hug Double Dry Hopped Hazy IPA, and Smoky Poofs Rye Smoked Porter, highlighting their balanced flavors and the brewing techniques that emphasize quality and authenticity.
