Month: November 2011

Founding Fathers Beer, a new American lager that is both owned and brewed in the United States, will be donating half of its profits to the families of military troops.  In Minnesota, the profits will be administered through non-profit organizations and Tee it up for the Troops was one of the two organizations selected.

Founding Fathers Products is a company dedicated to producing products that represent the ideals embraced by early America.  “The largest breweries in America are now foreign-owned and Founding Fathers is not only owned and brewed in America, but half of our profits will go to those serving in our armed forces and their families,” said Phil Knutsen, founder and CEO.  “We are thrilled to be introducing a new beer choice to Americans that will both taste great and compete with national brands.”
