In the Detroit News, Michigan Beer & Wine Wholesalers Association President Spencer Nevins noted the positive impact that family-owned beer distributors have on Michigan’s economy and alcohol marketplace. “Michigan consumers enjoy an unprecedented variety of choices, supported by advanced logistics, compliance systems and strong retail partnerships…driven in large part by family-owned distributors,” wrote Nevins.

“Their local ownership gives them a unique understanding of the retailers and consumers they serve. It also means decisions are made with a long-term perspective—focused not just on growth but on sustainability and community impact.”
