Celebrating Viewers Like "Brew"

Cheers to Founders Brewing Co. for choosing WGVU Public Media as their Community Partner now through the end of June 2026! Founders’ Community Partnership program is part of their broader commitment to giving back to the communities where they brew, work, and live.


All quarter long, $1 from every pour of their dedicated Social Impact Tap will support WGVU's mission to serve West Michigan, celebrating the neighbors and supporters who make public media possible. Support WGVU by ordering the designated Social Impact Tap, and be sure to keep an eye out in early May for a special collaboration beer made exclusively for this partnership: Viewers Like Brew.

Partnerships like this advance our mission to provide trusted reporting, educational programming, vibrant storytelling, and cultural experiences across our region.

Join us as we host two community events at the Founders Taproom: Jazz Night on Saturday, May 2nd, and the WGVU Fresh Sounds Vinyl Swap on Tuesday, June 23rd, bringing neighbors and music lovers together for great music, and a great cause!
