Founders Brewing Co. Expands Distribution to Colorado

Founders Brewing Co. in Grand Rapids, Michigan has announced an expanded distribution footprint that now extends to Colorado.

Colorado is the 47th state that Founders distributes to, where its popular All Day IPA is made available at retail establishments, bars and restaurants.

Only Wyoming, Utah and Hawaii remain for Founders to complete entire national distribution. The full release from the brewery is below.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., September 4, 2018 – Founders Brewing Co. announced today that they have partnered with Rocky Mountain Coors, Coors Distributing, High Country Beverage, Mountain Beverage, B&K, High Country Western Slope and A&L Coors to bring their year-round, seasonal, specialty and Barrel-Aged Series beers in bottles, cans (as applicable) and kegs to Colorado beginning in October 2018.

“We started this journey 21 years ago largely inspired by the craft pioneers out West in places like Colorado, California and Oregon,” said Founders’ Co-Founder and CEO, Mike Stevens. “Ever since we started distributing outside of Michigan, we’ve had our eye on getting into Colorado. It may have a competitive market, but the Colorado craft fans are passionate, adventurous and have been very vocal in petitioning for our availability. We’re pumped to finally make it happen.”  

Beer will start shipping in October, with the retail release beginning later that month. Launch events will take place towards the end of October – more details to come. Visit foundersbrewing.com/events to stay up-to-date with launch information.

Colorado is the 47^th state to see Founders’ distribution, leaving only Wyoming, Utah and Hawaii left to complete total US distribution.
