Michigan brewers sold more than 600,000 barrels of beer in the state in 2017, about six times the quantity sold a decade earlier, according to data from the Michigan Liquor Control Commission.

About half the Michigan-produced beer was made by Bell's and Founders, the state's two biggest brewers, and the rest was made by about 350 microbreweries and brewpubs across the state.

Below is a list of the 50 top producers of beers in Michigan, based on 2017 MLCC data. The MLCC tracks beer production and sales through collection of its beer tax.

The numbers listed here represent beer made and sold in Michigan. It does not include beer sold out of state, nor does it include beer sold at bars and restaurants that was not made in-house.

Most of the establishments on this list are microbreweries, which are allowed to make up to 60,000 barrels of beer and have a bar or restaurant that serves their beer by the glass. They also are allowed to sell their beer to wholesalers.

Brewpubs are restricted to producing 18,000 barrels of beer a year, and must operate a full-service restaurant. They cannot market their beer to wholesalers.

A barrel of beer is 31 gallons, which equates to almost 331 12-ounce servings.
