Brewer

Manufacturer & Wholesalers Section License & Permit Types
Brewer - A license issued by the Michigan Liquor Control Commission (MLCC) to manufacturer an unlimited quantity of beer. The Brewer must be located in Michigan, although the Brewer may have other brewing facilities located outside of Michigan. A Brewer may obtain additional Brewer licenses for other Michigan brewing facilities. A Brewer may sell the beer it produces to licensed wholesalers who may resell the beer to licensed retailers. Brewers may not sell beer directly to licensed retailers. A Brewer, not licensed as a Micro Brewer and producing under 200,000 barrels of beer per calendar year, may sell the beer it produces to consumers for on-premises consumption at one, and only one, brewing facility in Michigan. An investigation by the MLCC Enforcement Division is required along with local law enforcement approval and local governing body approval. The annual license fee is $50.00 for brewers producing less than 15,000 barrels per year; $50.00 plus $50.00 for each 1,000 barrels production over 15,000 barrels per year up to a maximum annual fee of $1,000.00. The annual license fee is based on the previous year's production of beer.
