Governor Snyder has signed Senate Bill 27, which allows bars and restaurants to sell refillable growlers for off-premises consumption. Michigan law previously allowed breweries to sell growlers, and this recent change extends the law to cover bars and restaurants. Bars and restaurants are required to pay a $100 fee to obtain a special merchants’ license to sell growlers.

Small wine makers are defined as an in-state or out of state winemaker that manufacturers or bottles not more than 5,000 gallons of wine in one calendar year.
