Founders Porter

Founders12 Oz6.5% ABV

The gold standard of robust American porters

This legendary porter pours a silky, pitch-black color with a robust, creamy tan head. Rich aromas of sweet caramel and dark chocolate lead into a full-bodied palate featuring toasted malts, espresso notes, and a perfectly balanced hop finish.

The story behind it

The maker

Founders Brewing Company was established in 1997 by Mike Stevens and Dave Engbers in Grand Rapids, Michigan. The founders initially struggled until they decided to brew the complex, high-gravity beers they personally wanted to drink, transforming them into a craft beer icon.

How it is made

Brewed in Michigan, this porter represents the pinnacle of classic American craft brewing. The brew house utilizes heavy additions of chocolate malt and roasted barley balanced by classic bittering hops to create a complex, robust profile.
