Mike Stevens and Dave Engbers were rocking the life status quo when they decided to take a leap and chase their dreams of opening a brewery. And though dream chasing involved writing a business plan; quitting their safe, steady jobs; and taking out giant loans (eek), they figured: if you're going to live life, you ought to live it hard, without regrets. The result of their leap? Founders Brewing Company.  

The Founders Family, a group of passionate beer enthusiasts, has since grown around one 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." Feeling a little rebellious this month? Chase your dream of drinking delectable brews to B3 and try these Founders Brewing favorites:

Dirty Bastard Scotch Ale, MI - So good it's almost wrong. Dark ruby in color and brewed with seven varieties of imported malts. Complex in finish, with hints of smoke and peat, paired with a malty richness and a right hook of hop power to give it the bad attitude that a beer named Dirty Bastard has to live up to. Ain't for the wee lads (or lasses). 8.3% ABV

All Day IPA, MI - The beer you've been waiting for. Keeps your taste satisfied while keeping your senses sharp. An all-day IPA naturally brewed with a complex array of malts, grains and hops. Balanced for optimal aromatics and a clean finish. The perfect reward for an honest day's work and the ultimate companion to celebrate life's simple pleasures. 4.7% ABV

Seasonal SALAD: Spring mix, fresh green apples, dried cranberries, granola and feta cheese.  Balsamic vinaigrette served on the side.

Seasonal SANDWICH: Back by popular demand!  Pumpernickel rye bread, avocado, cheddar cheese, tomato, red onion, salt and pepper and 1,000 Island dressing - hot pressed!

Seasonal SOUP: Mushroom Brie Bisque: select sliced mushrooms simmered with shredded potato and shallot in a vegetarian veloute enriched with Brie and Swiss cheeses, Amontillado sherry and snipped chives.
