Founders Brewing Co.
Regional Brewery
in Grand Rapids,

United States 🇺🇸
Owned by
Mahou San Miguel
Associated with 2 Venues
Established in 1997
Our taproom experience was born in 1997 in downtown Grand Rapids, MI, when our Co-Founders decided to start a brewery and realized immediately that the only way they could earn some cash (the brewery was losing money during those first years) was through bartending. With its super-casual vibe, gritty feel and amazing beer, the taproom quickly became a haven for many misfits, artists, musicians and more in Grand Rapids, outgrowing its tiny space quickly. The good news was, so did the brewery. Our entire operation moved to its current downtown Grand Rapids location 10 years ago to accommodate this growth and has since maintained the relaxed atmosphere and “all are welcome” approach to those who walk through the door. What’s next for our taproom? A second one, of course! We’re headed to Motown and hope to bring our Founders feel to the heart of the Cass Corridor in downtown Detroit.

Very sweet with notes of pineapple and citrusy lime and lemon, some coconut, thin body, overt sweet fruity finish. Not a fan.

Medium sweet fruity notes of orange and peach, pineapple, sticky sweet caramel malty backbone, bitter piney resinous hoppy finish. Ok for a supermarket beer.

Golden yellow with moderate white head. Coffee, milk, caramel malt, and fresh hay aroma. Moderately sweet latte, biscuit malt, and moderately bitter fresh hay and alcohol flavor. Good body. Pretty good.

Tall can from Publix, drunk at Eric's in Chesterfield. Light yellow haze, long lasting head, sharp white-wine hop flavor on the fore of the palate that balances the sweetness. Citrusy with a very sharp bitterness character, interesting but not my favorite example of hazy beer.

2025 bottle from Livonia Liquor. Pours a clear copper with a finger of off-white foam that lingers, then dissipates. Big coffee and vanilla focused nose with bourbon, oak and chocolate present as it warms. More of the same with coffee and creamy chocolate, lingering vanilla and bourbon. Balanced finish. Really nice stuff.

Sweetish fruity and malty with notes of citrus and light peachy accents coming in, light to medium bodied, bitter hoppy finish. Okish supermarket offering.

Smooth, roasty and heavy with coffee notes, hints of bourbony vanilla and oakiness. Classic OMT stuff, still pretty good.
