List of breweries in Michigan
Breweries throughout Michigan’s Upper and Lower Peninsulas craft an extensive variety of beers that are distributed locally, regionally, nationally, and even globally. In 2012, the state housed 120 brewing-related businesses—including breweries, brewpubs, importers, as well as company-owned packagers and wholesalers—which collectively provided direct employment to 595 individuals and supported over 36,000 additional jobs in associated fields such as wholesale and retail operations. That same year, 140 people maintained active brewer permits within Michigan. The promotion and coordination of Michigan beer is chiefly overseen by the Michigan Brewers Guild.
By 2012, Michigan’s brewing sector and its ancillary industries had generated in excess of $900 million in combined business and personal tax revenues, encompassing suppliers of raw materials and equipment. Consumer spending on products from Michigan breweries contributed upwards of $290 million in tax income. Nationally, Michigan ranked 13th in craft brewery density, boasting 122 craft breweries with one craft brewery per 81,013 residents.
The spectrum of brewing enterprises in Michigan spans from small-scale nanobreweries and microbreweries to expansive multinational macrobreweries. For perspective, at the conclusion of 2013, the United States was home to 2,822 breweries, including 2,768 craft breweries categorized into 1,237 brewpubs, 1,412 microbreweries, and 119 regional craft breweries.
