## About

Mike Stevens and Dave Engbers organised the company in 1996 as John Pannell Brewing Company and renamed it Canal Street Brewing Co. in 1997, after an old name of the Grand Rapids street where they began; customers took the word 'Founders' on a Pale Ale label for the company name, and the brewery adopted it. After a move to a larger plant it sold in 37 states with a capacity of 340,000 barrels. Mahou San Miguel of Spain bought a 30 per cent stake in December 2014 and is now the majority owner. KBS (Kentucky Breakfast Stout), Centennial IPA and Dirty Bastard are among its best-known beers.
