The Michigan Craft Distillers Association formed in 2014 as a non-profit organization charged with marketing the individual member businesses, their products and events, and bringing a voice for the industry when it comes to legislative issues that affect the overall beverage industry. More than two dozen craft distilleries with 40 individual locations and tasting rooms around the state take part.
