Founders Brewing Company of Grand Rapids, Michigan, will be available throughout Florida (for the first time) on August 19th. Brown Distributing Company will exclusively distribute Founder’s products in the state, working side by side with their team to introduce and educate Floridians about this innovative brewery.

Their philosophy is, “We don’t brew beer for the masses.

In short, we make beer for people like us.”
The initial product offering will include their full year-round lineup including: Centennial IPA, All Day IPA, Dirty Bastard Scotch Ale, Dry Hopped Pale Ale, Porter and Red’s Rye. Florida will also receive seasonal and limited release offerings throughout the year.
