Founders Closing Detroit Taproom

From Founders:

As has been reported in recent days, Founders has experienced some challenges at its Detroit taproom. We’re dealing with those challenges, so that we can continue to serve beer lovers in Detroit. To accomplish that, we will be closing the location until further notice.

All of our Detroit employees will be paid during this time, including those who have said via social media that they plan to protest during this closure, to call attention to concerns.

We have committed to working closely with our employees to make any changes to the company that need to be made to ensure a positive future. Those conversations are underway.

Unfortunately, this temporary closure is affecting the debut of our popular CBS. The CBS bottle pickup and CBS tapping party won’t be happening, as scheduled at the Detroit taproom. We greatly appreciate all of the enthusiasm for the introduction of this year’s CBS. We will be issuing full refunds to all CBS bottle ticket holders as soon as possible. To be clear, the CBS bottle release will go on as planned at the Grand Rapids taproom.

We thank all of our customers for their understanding and appreciation of Founders.
