The Explorium Brew Pub kicks off Movember men's movement with a collaboration beer

Why just drink any beer when you can drink one that supports men's health? At least one Wisconsin family wants to make it easier.

Kyle Ciske, head brewer at The Explorium Brew Pub; his wife, Nicole Ciske, who works for Malteurop Malting Co., in Milwaukee; and Nicole's brother, Eric, general manager of Lion's Tail Brewing Co., in Neenah, collaborated on a beer called 'Stache The Nuts II, a hazelnut chocolate Porter specifically for the Movember Foundation.

Since 2003 Movember has funded more than 1,250 men’s health projects shaking up men’s health research and transforming the way health services reach and support men specifically in the areas of prostate cancer, testicular cancer, mental health and suicide prevention.

This is the second year for the collaboration.

You could buy it because of the $7 paid for each pint purchased, $2 goes to Movember. Or you could buy it because it sounds delicious. Additionally, $4 from each $14 crowler sold will go to the foundation.

The Explorium Brew Pub, 5300 S. 76th St., in Greendale, will release 'Stache II at 5:30 p.m. Thursday. Lion's Tail Brewing, 116 S. Commercial St., in Neenah, will release the beer at 2 p.m. on Friday. Both locations will sell the beer through November.
