I created this article a while ago, but it appears to have been modified to read like an advertisement and no longer meets the criteria for an objective encyclopedic entry. I have removed or altered portions for objectivity.-- Aeranis ( talk) 01:00, 2 December 2010 (UTC)
I agree with Aeranis that this article needs quite a bit of help. Quite a lot of the information was out of date, and quite of bit of it looked like it was written by a Founder's employee. I updated some of the numbers, and also referenced and rewrote the Founder's Fest section, which was very biased IMO. I think there's still more to do, so I'll revisit this page soon. -- Jonddunn ( talk) 17:54, 22 October 2015 (UTC)
There has been an edit made to the history section by a Founder's employee (they very politely say so in the edit summary). Unfortunately the edits they made are not referenced. The previous version saying that Founders is available in 32 states (versus the 37 claimed by the employee) is correctly cited. I am going to revert the edits and try to find a source that can back up the 37 state claim. They have also changed the production capacity to 900,000. Further down the article, I correctly cited that Founders hopes to achieve 900,000 barrels per year once the current expansion underway is completed. To my knowledge, that expansion is not yet complete. Again, I will try to find sources that can speak to the current production capacity. -- Jonddunn ( talk) 15:52, 30 October 2015 (UTC)

Hi @ BeIsKr:
I noticed you added in the information about Founders ownership, and how that no longer qualifies them as a "craft brewery" per the Brewers Association guidelines. The very first line of the article calls them a craft brewery, so do you think that also should be updated?
I'm unaware of any "official" requirements for craft/micro, etc., beyond the Brewers Association, and I guess I am also unsure how official that really is. Are they considered to be the authority on craft brewing? Do people within the craft brewing community no longer consider Founders Brewing a craft brewery? Thanks! -- Jonddunn ( talk) 19:10, 31 March 2016 (UTC)
The solution to WP:UNDUE attention on a single current event is not to devote more coverage to it, on only one side. This is an unresolved HR dispute that's getting a fair amount of press this week because the idiot manager said something idiotic. Giving it as much space as the Taprooms or Founders Fest sections is a textbook example of WP:RECENTISM. - Jason A. Quest ( talk) 14:37, 24 October 2019 (UTC)
