The Michigan Craft Beverage Council replaced the Grape and Wine Industry Council created by Executive Reorganization Order No. 2014-2. The Council will award grants for research into winemaking, hops, barley, beer and spirits; conduct market surveys and analysis; and offer other programs that encourage the agricultural elements related to Michigan's craft beverage industries. The council's activities are funded exclusively by non-retail, non-wholesale liquor license fees.
The Council is comprised of nine members appointed by the Governor. Members serve three-year terms.
