GRAND RAPIDS, MI — If you thought Founders Brewing Co. had gotten big in the last couple years, wait until you see it next spring.

By May 2015, the Grand Rapids brewery plans to complete a $25 million expansion project that will double its beer-making capacity to 600,000 barrels.

The brewery is just a couple weeks away from deciding whether to build the new manufacturing space at its downtown facility or in another location around the Grand Rapids area, said CEO Mike Stevens.

“We are trying to move fast and furious,” said Stevens, who just last year shepherded Founders through a $26 million expansion of the brewhouse, cellar and company taproom at 235 Grandville Ave. SW.
