Production & Heritage

Founders Brewing Company (operating as Canal Street Brewing Co., LLC) is based in Grand Rapids, Michigan, and was founded by Mike Stevens and Dave Engbers. The brewery operates both its original 30-barrel system and an 85-barrel Steinecker Combicube system added in 2011, giving it the capacity to brew at scale without sacrificing recipe integrity. Founders draws on Michigan's freshwater resources from the Great Lakes region, and their seasonal releases rotate throughout the year to reflect different styles and brewing traditions appropriate to each season.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Because this is a rotating seasonal offering, aromas shift with each release. Expect Founders' trademark emphasis on bold, well-defined hop and malt character regardless of the specific style.

Taste: Each seasonal expression reflects Founders' approach to balance — assertive flavors supported by a sturdy malt backbone. Mid-palate complexity is a hallmark across their lineup, whether the release leans toward hop-forward, malt-driven, or hybrid styles.

Finish: Founders beers typically deliver clean, defined finishes that encourage the next sip. Length and texture will vary from crisp and dry to round and lingering depending on the seasonal style.

How to Drink Founders Seasonal

Serve chilled in an appropriate glass for the style — a shaker pint for IPAs or pale ales, a tulip for darker or higher-ABV seasonal releases. These beers are designed to drink well straight from the can for casual settings. A Founders seasonal pale ale or IPA works well in a Beer Shandy with fresh lemonade for warm-weather releases. Malt-forward autumn or winter seasonals can stand in nicely for a Michelada with tomato juice, hot sauce, and lime. Lighter seasonal styles make a refreshing base for a Beer Margarita blended with tequila and citrus.
