Distributor Membership

The MB&WWA has been advocating for the interest of beer and wine wholesalers since 1948. We are proud of our legacy of advocacy, resilience, and a steadfast commitment to the betterment of the beer and wine distribution industry. Whether at the State Capitol, U.S. Congress, the Michigan Liquor Control Commission, or the Courts, we make sure that the voice of the independent wholesaler is heard.
