Microbreweries could double beer production under proposed Michigan law | Crain's Detroit Business:
"HB 4709, sponsored by Rep. Kevin Cotter, R-Mt. Pleasant, would increase the amount of beer a microbrewer could brew annually to 60,000 barrels from 30,000.
HB 4710, sponsored by Rep. Peter MacGregor, R-Cannon Township, would allow a brewpub to have an interest in as many as five other brewpubs, as long as the combined production of those brewpubs does not exceed 18,000 barrels in a year. The law now limits a brewpub to having an interest in up to two others, so long as combined production does not exceed 5,000 barrels a year, according to a House Fiscal Agency analysis.
HB 4711, sponsored by Rep. Andy Schor, D-Lansing, would allow a brewer to sell beer for on-premises consumption at up to two of its licensed locations where it produces beer. The law now only allows for a brewer to sell its beer for on-premises consumption at one location.
Under state law, microbreweries can sell only the beer they produce, and they cannot sell wine or spirits. "
