About Founders Brewing Co.
In 1997 Mike Stevens and Dave Engbers founded the Founders Brewing Co. in Grand Rapids, Michigan. The duo started off slowly, nearly going out of business; but in 2002 they hired Jeremy Kosmicki who would become Founder’ Brewmaster. A year later the company would begin to see growth and in 2007 Founder moved to a larger facility. In 2014 Founders announced a partnership with Spanish Brewer Mahou San Miguel.
The company has enjoyed growth and success. While the main brewery is located in Grand Rapids, they do have an additional brewery and taproom in Detroit.
