THE THREE-TIER SYSTEM


The Three-Tier System is made up of beverage suppliers, distributors, and retailers. It is an important regulatory system that has been serving the American public for decades, helping to create and maintain a competitive, safe, and efficient marketplace benefiting customers. Michigan’s independent beer and wine distributors are a critical link in this system.
