DETROIT - Founders Brewing Company is reportedly opening a taproom in Detroit.

Crain's Detroit Business reports that the Grand Rapids brewery responsible for some of Michigan's most iconic craft beer is opening the taproom in Detroit's fast-developing Midtown neighborhood.

A 12,000-square-foot building currently sits at the proposed site on Charlotte Street. The reported location is about a 5-minute walk away from Little Caesars Arena where the Red Wings and Pistons will play next season.

The report cites unnamed sources, but if the expansion does occur, it will mark Founders first in a city other than Grand Rapids since it was founded by Dave Engbers and Mike Stevens in 1997.

An official announcement from the brewery is expected on Tuesday, April 25, according to Crain's.

Founders expanded its Grand Rapids taproom at 235 Grandville Ave SW, in 2014. The $25 million project doubled its beer-making capacity to 600,000 barrels. Already a player in the national craft beer scene, it appears Founders is ready to take another step with a jump to Detroit.
