The Michigan Brewers Guild is a non-profit organization that represents the craft brewing industry in Michigan. Founded in 1997, it aims to promote and protect the interests of local breweries while fostering a sense of community among brewers and beer enthusiasts. The guild organizes events, provides resources, and advocates for legislation that supports the craft beer sector. One of the guild's key initiatives is the annual Michigan Brewers Guild Summer Beer Festival, which showcases a wide variety of craft beers from member breweries. This event not only highlights the diversity of Michigan's brewing scene but also encourages consumers to explore and appreciate local craft beer.
