You could simply not sell to the state at all and make all sales from your tasting room and set the price at what ever you want, the mi state minimum is set based on the whe sale price to the state if you don't sell to the state they can't set a minimum. There are plenty of distilleries that sell some products to the state but also have exclusive products that can only be purchased directly so that's something you could also consider.
If you sell from your tasting room, would you not need a retailers licences and then would still have to be through the State,I know Mich which I live in is or was trying to get out of the controlled situation,have they done this yet?
And as i under stand you can not charge for the tastings you have to charge for a tour and then offer a FREE 1/2 oz shot of Liqour or 1 oz beer,been working out these little bugs, wife works for the second largest beer distributor in Our great state, but is trained and certifed on rules and regs, through the liqour commision,just trying to get the jist of things!
