Liquor License Expansion

Legislation that would streamline the state’s liquor licensing process and allow microbreweries to expand is headed to Governor Rick Snyder. The state House and Senate yesterday approved amendments to Michigan’s liquor laws. The legislation would allow microbreweries in the state to produce up to 60,000 barrels a year. That’s double the current limit of 30,000. The bills also create a conditional license for applicants during the liquor license review process. The conditional license would cost $300.
Brewers and liquor associations support the changes saying it will help the industry’s economic growth and create jobs.
