Despite our love for animals, they are not allowed in the beer garden or inside of either of our taprooms. Sorry, furry friends. Of course, bona fide service dogs are permitted

Our guests will not be required to wear masks.

Grand Rapids:

We have a gated parking lot between Goodrich and Bartlett (just south of our facility). To ensure that your parking is validated, please present your ticket to your bartender/server when cashing out. You’ll receive up to two hours free of charge, after which a $2.00/half hour fee will apply. There is no charge between 11pm-8am so any cars left overnight (safety first!) will not incur any additional charges.

The entrance to this lot is off Goodrich and the pay station and exit are just off Bartlett St. This is a cashless system that accepts Visa, Mastercard, American Express and Discover cards. Here’s a handy map:

Detroit:

As of now we have limited space in our lot, however, there are pay lots around us as well as plenty of street parking. Please do NOT park in the abandoned lot to the west of the building. Violators will be towed.

Unfortunately, we do not take reservations and do not hold tables for anyone, regardless of the occasion. However, you can download the Yelp waitlist app for our Grand Rapids taproom here or Detroit taproom here to put your name on the list. You will then be texted when your table is ready.

We also have a private event rental space available for booking in both Grand Rapids and Detroit.

We do not do any coupon-ing or discounting in our taprooms—other than our daily specials. This applies to all situations, including bar crawls.

Yup! You can find more details and book a tour here.

Nope! We try to minimize the number of people who are in the caves for safety reasons. Similar to our other production spaces, we try to limit it to only the people necessary.

Yes! We have a ramp off of Grandville Ave. at the entrance of our Grand Rapids taproom. Our Detroit taproom can be accessed from the parking lot on the East side of the building off of Charlotte St.

Awesome! We love it when films and TV shows depict characters drinking craft beer, and are especially stoked when that beer is ours. Please contact media@foundersbrewing.com with the following information:

• Film synopsis
• Script for only the scenes in which the beer will shown

We have a beer locator that helps you find our beer in your area; it’s searchable by zip code. It isn’t foolproof—it’s fed by data from when our distributors sell our beer to retailers, and lists retailers based on sales in the past 60 days. However, it’s fairly reliable. We recommend calling the store/bar/restaurant before heading in if you’re heart’s set on a particular product, to make sure that it’s there.

*Also, please note that not all of our distributors provide data to this database. In that instance, please call them at the number provided on the beer locator page.

First of all, thank you for carrying our beer! Our beer locator is populated by data that we get from Vermont Information Processing and is based upon sales from our wholesalers to retailers, like yourself, within the past 60 days. If you have not purchased our beer within that time frame, or if our distributor in your region does not contribute data to VIP, that would be why you aren’t listed. Unfortunately, it’s an automatic process and there’s nothing we can do to override it. However, if something about your listing is inaccurate—say, your phone number or your address—please email social@foundersbrewing.com to get it sorted out.

Sorry, but we do not share recipe information on any of our beers. A lot of folks here started as homebrewers, and we wish you luck in your endeavors! We do, however, have some tips for homebrewers available here.

We don’t typically announce our Barrel-Aged Series beers until a month or so before they start shipping. See more information on our Barrel-Aged Series page. If you want to be in the know before the general public for new beer releases and other news, check this out. Regarding re-releases of all past beers and all beers in our Barrel-Aged Series…well, you never know what we may put into a bottle next…

We recommend asking before trying because our vegan-friendly beers differ from year to year. You can do so by emailing social@foundersbrewing.com.

All beers brewed with traditional brewing grains will contain gluten including barley, rye, wheat, and oats. All of our beers are made with one or more of these grains. There are products on the market that are brewed with these ingredients and are marketed as “gluten-reduced”. The gluten proteins are broken down using an enzyme in these beers but fragments of the protein are still present.

Please note that while we do not often add nuts to our beers, with the exception of Cashew Mountain Brown, our facility is directly connected to our taproom, where peanuts are commonly consumed. The possibility of a cross contamination of peanut dust does exists. Because of the varying degrees at which people suffer from nut allergies, we would advise you to talk with your doctor about the risks of consuming our product. Founders does not label any of our products as “peanut-free”, and we can’t say whether our beer would be safe for someone with nut allergies. Also, it is important to note that several of our raw materials come from facilities that also package and produce nut products.

Our products are not certified kosher.

We can’t ship beer directly to consumers. We understand how beautiful it would be to have a case of beer show up at your doorstep, but it just can’t happen. At least not shipped from us. The only way to get beer directly from us is to visit our taproom and Company Store in either Detroit or Grand Rapids during our open hours (scroll to the bottom of this page to see those). But there are lots of wonderful Founders supporters out there that are willing to help you out: find one in your area using our beer locator!

Yes, on site in our taproom and Company Store. You can also order to-go beer online here.

You can purchase gift cards on our website for use on-site in Grand Rapids and Detroit in our taproom, deli and Company Store. At this point, we do not have the capability to process payments for online orders using gift cards.

We strongly believe that it is important to give back to the community that has supported us for so long. In 2017, we formalized our giving into our CSR program, which we call the Big Pitcher. We support causes that fall under four designations:

• Social Justice
• Arts and Culture
• Environment
• Active Lifestyle
