Review: Founders Mas Agave Hard Seltzer
Founders Mas Agave Hard Seltzer was released October 2020. Founders Brewing Company was co-founded by Mike Stevens and Dave Engbers in a 9800 square foot brewery in downtown Grand Rapids Michigan in 1997. Some of the beers that made the brand famous include All Day IPA, Solid Gold Lager, Centennial IPA, Unraveled IPA, 4 Giants IPA, Breakfast Stout, Founders Porter, Rubaeus Raspberry Ale, and Dirty Bastard. Spanish Brewer Mahou San Miguel acquired a 30% stake of Founders December 2014 and an additional 60% January 2020. The inspiration for the brand came from the wife of the VP of Marketing for Founders Brewing Company. She felt Founders Mas Agave Barrel aged Imperial Gose beer series with an ABV between 9.7 and 10 was a little strong for her liking. When she cut the beer with seltzer water she loved it. After that the Brewmaster and R&D Brewer spent months honing their hard seltzer recipe. The 11-14 ingredient list, found on each can of the three varieties of Mas Agave Hard Seltzer starts with filtered water and a sugar cane and organic blue agave nectar alcohol base. Founders Mas Agave is sold in a 15 can three flavor variety pack. The three flavors include Lime, Strawberry and Grapefruit. Read more
