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 the dedicated Social Impact Tap supports WGVU’s mission to serve West Michigan, celebrating the neighbors and supporters who make public media possible.

Now available at the Founders Brewing Co. Taproom is Viewers Like Brew, a special collaboration beer created exclusively for this partnership. A classic Helles-style lager, it is less bitter than a traditional Pilsner, with a soft breadiness courtesy of Munich malt. $1 from each pint goes directly to WGVU.

Visitors can also support public media by stopping into the Taproom store, where WGVU t-shirts are available for purchase, with 100% of proceeds benefiting WGVU.

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

We were proud to kick off the collaboration with Jazz Night earlier this season, and the celebration continues as we host the WGVU Fresh Sounds Vinyl Swap on Tuesday, June 23rd, bringing neighbors and music lovers together for great music and a great cause!

Upcoming Events

Tuesday, June 23 | 5:30 pm - 7:30 pm

WGVU Fresh Sounds Vinyl Swap at Founders Brewing Co.

Join WGVU for a special community vinyl swap event at Founders Brewing Co. on Tuesday, June 23rd from 5:30 - 7:30 PM. Bring records you’re ready to pass along, leave with some fresh new sounds, and connect with fellow music lovers from around West Michigan! 

Please bring 2-4 vinyl records and make sure that they are in good playable condition. You are also welcome to stop by, hang out, enjoy the music and conversation, and take a record even if you don’t bring one. All vinyl fans are encouraged to attend, from longtime collectors to those just starting a collection. This event focuses on sharing music and community rather than buying, selling, or rare record trading.

Thank you for joining us at Jazz Night!
