Michigan’s Beer Wholesalers Want Control Of THC Drinks, But MiCIA Says No.
Michigan’s legal weed industry and the state’s beer and wine distributors both want THC beverages on store shelves and in bars and restaurants.
The Michigan Beer & Wine Wholesalers Association, a powerful lobby in Lansing, is trying to woo lawmakers with a plug-and-play system that gives distributors wholesale access to the cannabis drink market, connecting cannabis processors with 20,000 liquor stores and bars across the state.
Currently, THC beverages are only available at licensed marijuana dispensaries throughout the state.
The beer and wine industry hopes cannabis can plug leaky demand.

Legalized by a state bill in 2022 – which famously caught some unaware Minnesota legislators off guard on what they voted for – the marijuana-adjacent beverages are due to be prohibited in a similarly surprising way across the country next fall. It all has Minnesota breweries feeling like they’re being kicked when they’re down.
Big Things Are Happening in the Small World of Wheat Whiskey
Wheat whiskey is having a moment. Or perhaps it’s on the verge of one. Depending on whom you ask, it’s tough to tell. But after a humble — and near happenstance — modern rebirth, one of America’s smallest whiskey categories seems to be (slowly, steadily) growing in popularity. Distillers big and small are taking notice, using wheat whiskey as a distinction to stand out amidst a continuing deluge of bourbon and rye.
