Founders Brewing Company was established in 1997 by Mike Stevens and Dave Engbers in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Known for creating robust, flavor-forward beers that initially pushed them to the brink of bankruptcy, they triumphed by brewing the complex beers they loved, eventually becoming a world-renowned destination for barrel-aged stouts.
Deep in the heart of Grand Rapids, Michigan, the brewery & brewhouse artisans at Founders have perfected the craft of cave-aging their stouts. This variant introduces sweet caramel during the brewing process, enhancing the natural vanilla and oak traits extracted from the charred bourbon barrels.
