GRAND RAPIDS, Michigan – Founders Brewing Company, part of Mahou USA, is excited to announce a new collaboration with Michigan band, Greta Van Fleet. The two came together to create 4 Giants Starcatcher Haze IPA, a limited-edition hazy IPA that calls forth the power of the cosmos to create a smooth, citrusy drinking adventure.
Greta Van Fleet, an American rock band from Frankenmuth, Michigan, was formed in 2012, and since its inception the bandmates have been big craft beer fans. After several years of collaboration with small breweries, and on the eve of a new album, the band wanted to work with a brewery from their home state — enter Founders Brewing Company.
4 Giants Starcatcher Haze which boasts bright grapefruit, orange and tropical notes with subtle lemongrass and honey finishes smooth with low bitterness and comes in at 6.6 percent ABV.
In connection with the collaboration, $1 for every pint or package sold of Starcatcher Haze will be donated to Freshwater Future, up to $20,000. Founders Brewing Company has partnered with Freshwater Future since 2021 in its goal of helping ensure access to safe drinking water by safeguarding the Great Lakes.
