Grand Rapids Founders Brewing Co. Brews Up Beer To Benefit ArtPrize

Founders Brewing Company is run by a group of beer enthusiasts who have the following philosophy: We are not here to win a popularity contest. We are here to brew finely crafted beers that appeal to people who have a refined taste for them and perhaps are ready to rebel against the tastes of the masses.

Founders Brewing Company is one of the most recognized brewers in the United States. They are constantly rated highly by beer experts organizations and have won many medals.

Recently, the brewery has announced that they will release a new ale, Mosaic Promise. This is an ale brewed with a single malt and a single hop. The brewery will donate all proceeds from the ale to Artprize, a major art competition to take place in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

The brewery is the official one of the competition for the next five years. Last year they released a beer called Inspired Artist Black IPA. They plan to release a new beer for each of the five years.

The art competition is a major one that is decided by public vote. It is meant to “promote critical dialogue and collaboration through new, creative ideas among a large, diverse population of people.” The brewery has remarked that experimentation is key both in the field of art and the field of brewing. Both are creative processes that are shared with the public.

A massive number of people, over 400,000, are expected to attend the next Artprize competition.

The following are some features of Artprize:
Anyone who is over the age of eighteen can participate. Artprize is independently organized. The artists and venues who participate connect through the organization’s website. Two grand prizes and eight category awards are offered. Half of the prizes are decided by the public, and half are decided by a jury of art experts.

The brewery has also partnered with Artprize to create Artprize on Tap. For members of Artclub, people who donate to the organization, this perk is a way of staying connected with Artprize. Held on the third Wednesday of every month, members get to sample the brewery’s beer and food.
