Extremely crowded, being many of the guests having family trip. Rich lineup of own beers, even more variety of goods. Even able to purchase tap handles. Hard to find parking space around, but definately worth a visit. Just in front of central station.

The food was just okay. Good beer selection but I don't drink beer. We went there because my boyfriend likes it. They broke a few glasses in front of the couple who sat next me but pieces of the glasses flew to my side. We didn't get an apology nor a free round which he bought for the other couple. Thanks.

The Holiest of the Holy beer companies. This was my first time here and I have to say... This place is amazing the amount of taphouse only brews and barrel aged offerings is insane.
The outside patio was so open and lively and out waitress was amazing even though it was packed. The tiered offerings and pricing were clearly stated and easy to figure out. Dont forget to stop in the store to grab a shirt or my favorite, the beard balm!

Founders is always a great place to be! The food, the environment, and the BEER are just a few highlights of this establishment. It has many seating options, some of which is outdoor with heaters ready to go if necessary. There is a stage set up, as they often have good shows here.
My most recent visit I ordered the Hummus & Tapenade, which is typically my go to when I visit. I also tried their Devil Dancer sandwich (not pictured). If you are looking for something deliciously spicy, I highly recommend this one! To wash it all down, I got their Red's Rye IPA. The service never fails to put a smile on my face. Everyone is always so friendly, and helpful when you have a question regarding their list of beers.

Phenomenal experience and atmosphere. I drove 10 hours from western NY to get here and try it out and it’s well worth it! The breakfast stout is incredible and the Dissenter sandwich is the bomb! Here’s the full menu.

I was visiting from Oregon where we also have an excellent microbrewery scene and I gotta say the beers I sampled blew me away. One thing that makes Founders stand out to me is the depth of flavor they are able to achieve with their beer. Most breweries will call something vanilla flavored or some other flavor and never really achieve that true taste because they skimp on the ingredients due to cost. Founders definitely doesn't do that. The vanilla was very prominent as was the french toast flavor in those respective beers. Great job guys, cheers!

Met Wes and Robert from Founders at the Beer Festival in Dallas last weekend. They were so friendly and let us taste all their wares. My husband loves their All Day IPA - We always have a case in the fridge. Don't want to get anyone in trouble - but we have a cool new decoration for our bar! Thanks Wes!!!

Yes good beer. Yes good atmosphere. Yes good food. CHECK website before you go.
We happened to pick the busiest day of winter to get lunch. FIRKING FREEZEOUT. Standing room only 10 minute line to get a beer and had to wait again in 10 minute line to close out tab.
Will definitely go again.
