Description
The Michigan Craft Beverage Council (MCBC) Research and Education Grants support work connected to Michigan’s craft beverage industry. Funded through the Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development (MDARD), the program is associated with a 10-member, governor-appointed advisory council that coordinates research, promotion, and agricultural business development for the sector.
The FY27 priorities emphasize increasing the use of Michigan agricultural products, regenerative agriculture, crop quality and production practices, and beverage quality assurance. Projects may address research, consumer education, market development, or strategies for sharing results with the industry. Proposals addressing other focus areas are also accepted.
