"Founders opened in the 90's and has grown to become one of the most recognized independent breweries in the U.S. One advantage of visiting is to try the three beers that are only available at the brewery. Stop by if you love great beer, giant sandwiches, and local live entertainment." - Carnevale

The company also has a taproom in Detroit’s midtown. Masks are no longer required in the taprooms." - Monica Williams
