Founders Brewing Company, Grand Rapids, MI
Mike Stevens and Dave Engbers were both working steady jobs when they decided to throw caution to the wind and open their brewery. It meant quitting their jobs and taking out giant loans. If you’re going to live life, live it hard, without regrets.
That philosophy lead them to create complex, in-your-face ales with huge aromatics, bigger bodies, and tons of flavors. They don’t brew beers for the masses. Instead their craft beers are for a chosen few, “a small cadre of renegades and rebels who enjoy a beer that pushes the limits of what is commonly accepted as taste.” In short, they make beer for people like them, and their brews stand alone.

To the beach, in a backpack or while watching a game. Customers are mobile and active, and Blue Dog Mead wants to make sure their drinks are as well.
