Founders Brewing, which furloughed 163 employees in April, has announced layoffs for 89 workers.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — Founders Brewing Company is remodeling its taproom and kitchen in Grand Rapids, causing closures of both periodically for the next two months. 

The Grand Rapids-based brewery is getting a completely new kitchen, meaning a new menu to pair with their world-class beer, staff say. 

"It’s an opportunity to welcome our guests to a refreshed space that will keep the focus on our amazing beer, while offering new and evolving food with an improved overall dining experience," they wrote on Facebook. "We couldn't be more excited, but for our local fans, that means our taproom will be closed for a short period of time."

While their kitchen is closed, they'll have food trucks stop by to pair with their beer. No food or beer will be available when their taproom closes for the final part of the renovation throughout March. 

Here's a full schedule:

  • February 18 – Taproom Closed
  • February 19 – March 3 – Open for beer and food truck offerings while our kitchen remains closed.
  • Limited hours during this time. Mon. – Fri 4PM-9PM, Saturday 12PM-9PM, and Sunday from 12PM-5PM
  • (Special Mug Club discounts during this time)
  • March 4 – 31 – Taproom closes
  • April 1 – Taproom reopen with full kitchen and new menu!
  • April 13 – Public Launch Party Event

"We can’t wait to welcome you all back to a refreshed space that will keep the focus on our amazing beer, while offering new and evolving food with an improved overall dining experience," staff say. 

Below, you'll find the schedule for food trucks while their kitchen is closed:
