My wife and I did a brewery tour with Kyle, and he was really a great guide. It was definitely one of the better brewery tours we've been on. It was a nice balance of the history of Founders and seeing the production area. We had a beer beforehand in the taproom which was huge! Good beer and good service. Lots of taproom only options. The shop was also cool, with a lot of merch. I appreciated they sold singles of a lot of the beers so you could grab stuff to try without committing...
Most breweries can make a good beer. A lot of breweries can make one great beer. Very few can make several really great beers. In my rankings, Founders is #1. This location is first-class all the way! I was a little surprised - you're not gonna drink on the cheap, but really the prices aren't bad for quality of beer and environment that you're getting. I very much wish I lived closer.

Craft beer heaven — my IPA was crisp with a citrus bite. Paired it with their beer-cheese dip and pretzels, which worked perfectly. It’s a big, casual space, sometimes loud, but fun if you’re into the local brewing culture.
