DH recently won tickets to tour Founders Brewing in Grand Rapids, Michigan. In spite of the owner being rather tight lipped about many of their trade secrets, we had a super good time!
The owner also mentioned several times that they are very lucky, that most breweries don’t make it. That it is a lot of hard work, a lot of relationships with distributors. Still, Mike and DH want to continue pursuing their dream. Will we make it? Only time will tell. In the meantime, I definitely don’t mind doing the market research!

FYI the owner is Dave not Dan and it’s BJCP guidelines not BCGB guidelines.

Founders is bitchin’. Sorry for using a swear, sometimes it’s necessary.
