2013 Founders Fest - A Celebration of Beer & Music
Founders Fest is our biggest party of the year, a street-side celebration of everything we love and all that makes Founders what it is today: the world’s greatest beer, incredible live music, killer grub from local favorites, and wearables and shareables from some of the area’s finest artisans. Founders Fest is an all-day, outdoor event, and takes place on the streets surrounding the brewery, under the sun and the beautiful blue hue of the June sky.
This year’s musical acts include: G. Love & Special Sauce, Ivan Neville’s Dumpstaphunk, Man Man, Roster McCabe, Lowdown Brass Band, Lindsay Lou & The Flatbellys, Alexis, Cabildo, and everyone’s favorite, the FBC All-Stars!
Founders Fest takes place from 3pm – 11pm, and is a ticketed, strictly 21+ event. Re-entry will only be allowed based upon capacity.
2013 promises to be the BIGGEST, BEST Founders Fest ever! Two stages will highlight musical entertainment, two beer tents will have all of your Founders favorites flowing all day long, along with some rare specialties and some brewed just for the event!
Roving entertainers and buskers will keep you laughing and in awestricken, bedazzled wonderment at their talents and showmanship. A variety of local food vendors will be serving up their sizzling, signature specialties to ‘feed’ your cravings.
Additionally, an even more-expansive ‘Artist’s Row’ will showcase the wares of some of the finest local artists, and both Founders Fest and band merchandise will be available for you to wear with pride!
Here are some more organized, bulleted details:
What: Founders Fest 2013: A Celebration of Beer and Music. Our biggest party and a thank you to the city of Grand Rapids, and the community that has made us what we are today.
When: Saturday, June 22nd from 3pm – 11pm.
Where: The streets surrounding Founders Brewing Company, located at 235 Grandville Avenue SW. Entry gates will be located at the north end of the festival grounds, near the intersection of Grandville and Cherry Street.
Note: The Brewery, including the Tap Room, Deli, and Company Store will be closed to the public the entire day, as this event is entirely outdoors.

I’m hungry: A wide variety of local food vendors will be on hand serving up delicious vittles!
I’m thirsty: All of your Founders Favorites as well as quite-a-few surprises and n/a beverages will be available in our massive beer tents. Tickets are required for all beverage purchases, and can be procured at various locations about the festival grounds. We will also have water stations for the usage of festivalgoers and to lower the consumption of bottled water. We will not be filling growlers at the festival.
Note: Founders Fest is a ‘green festival’. Please help us in our efforts to make a minimal environmental impact! Recycle what can be recycled, compost what can be composted, and trash what you must. A clean, green festival is a cool, happy festival! We’ve again partnered with our friends at the High Five Program and their Green Team with the goal of 90% waste diversion.

Mike Stevens and Dave Engbers both had steady jobs when they decided to chase their dreams and open a brewery–which meant writing a business plan, quitting their jobs, and taking out giant loans. They figured if you’re going to live life, you ought to live it hard, without regrets.
After some initial challenges, due to making well balanced but unremarkable beers, we were on the verge of bankruptcy. It was at this point that the original Founders team decided to brew the kind of beer that got them excited about brewing in the first place: complex, in-your-face ales, with huge aromatics, bigger body, and tons of flavor.
The Founders Family, a group of passionate beer enthusiasts, has grown around this simple philosophy: “We don’t brew beer for the masses. Instead, our beers are crafted 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, we make beer for people like us.”
We at Founders Brewing Co. have been lucky to evolve into one of the highest recognized breweries in the United States. We have been ranked in the top breweries in the world by Ratebeer.com for the last five years, and we have several beers listed in the top one hundred beers of the world on Beeradvocate.com. We’ve won six World Beer Cup medals, four European Beer Star medals and three Great American Beer Festival medals—thirteen medals total across eight different beers.
We are proud to be doing what we’re doing. We give credit to our staff for continuously working to reinvent what beer can be and thanks to our many customers for whom we work to provide world-class beers.
