Description

Specialties

Overlooking the brewing facilities, our Taproom allows customers a look into where the beer magic happens. It’s a great testing ground for us, and on any particular day you will find numerous products on draft available only at Founders. The unique offering of specialty beers, the laid back atmosphere, award winning Deli Sandwiches, and multiple nights of live music each week, has helped to make our Taproom a staple in the Grand Rapids community and a destination for travelers. Stop by whenever you can and experience it for yourself, fresh from the source!

History

Established in 1997.

The on-​site Taproom at Founders Brewing Co. was orignally located in a much smaller space in the Brassworks Buiding, our old home on Monroe. In 2007 Founders moved its entire operation, including a brand new, much more spacious Taproom, to the current location on Grandville Ave.

In September of 2013, the Taproom, Deli and Company Store received a major expansion, including new restrooms, a second bar (the original bar from the Brassworks location), an expanded Deli and menu, and much larger stage for live entertainment. Changes also included the addition of a large urban style Beer Garden, a shiny new Company Store and the «Centennial Room», a separate rentable space on our second floor that is dedicated to private events.

Meet the Manager

Christopher D.

Manager

Hi,

My name is Chris and I want you to love Founders as much as I do. Please feel free to inquire about anything and everything Founders. I also want to let everyone know that we validate parking for 5 hours in our lot. The entrance is located off of Goodrich and it exits off of Bartlett. Bring your ticket into the taproom where it can be validated by anyone on our staff.
