My husband got me a crowler of Blushing Padre. This is incredible!! I love the salt finish on what was already a great beer. It finished from great to amazing!!! I told him we need to go next weekend, eat, and bring home more šŸŗ

Always a great experience and our go-to for good food, great beer and reliable service. Their staff knows the product too. Especially Blake - his recommendations are spot-on for my taste so heā€™ll always be able to convince me to try something new and take something home that Iā€™ll like!

This place is great for beer lovers. However, for people with food restrictions, specifically gluten/wheat. Itā€™s really hard when this is the favorite of a family members but every time we go, Iā€™m limited to a salad. It really seems like you could label stuff on their menu as gluten free. Plus, have at least two food options.

After a full day of learning at the Michigan Dental Association annual conference, we stopped by Founders and had a hard time choosing which brew to try! Everything tasted great and the pretzels were a perfect complement to ā€¦ eh.. each pintā€¦ šŸ˜Š If you have plans to visit Grand Rapids, I would definitely make time to stop here for a meal and a pint.

Went on a private tour here and got food & beers after. Cool tour & the beers were absolutely phenomenal. For a large beer producer their draft beers were incredible and very consistent. Can't wait to come back!

My gf and I came here on a trip to west Michigan. After trying a few different breweries in the area Founderā€™s didnā€™t disappoint like the rest that day. Some unique beers on tap and a really relaxed environment made for a great experience.

It's ok. Visited during winter. Maybe would have been a better experience in summer months. Was expecting more of a dining experience. Definitely felt processed. Beer was great food and service avg.

Great food, great beer, even service was great. The city of Grand Rapids is AWFUL. I paid for an hour of parking and went back out to add after I realized I needed to pay and was rewarded with a parking ticket because I was a few minutes late. I will not be back. Itā€™s a shame really because otherwise I really enjoyed the experience.

Founders never disappoints with their quality of beer, friendly service, and amazing patio. The expanded outdoor patio and indoor/outdoor section is great for the warmer weather. Had the Winnie Stephanie Hefeweizen, hot pretzel, and Vegan Chorizo Wrap which all went together perfectly. Warning, the wrap is spicy. Staff was excellent!
