MICHIGAN SPIRIT ASSOCIATION: ADVOCACY, RESPONSIBILITY, REVENUES The Michigan Spirits Association, founded in 1967, continues to advance its proud role as representative for vendors, suppliers and distributors of distilled spirit products. Those advocacy roles include representation of the industry at the state Capital and helping curtail underage drinking and irresponsible consumption. And MSA's member distillers- responsible for more than 75% of cases sold in the state each year-help generate more than $400 million in state tax revenues. We hope you'll look around our website and think about joining our organization. And we look forward to seeing you at our next tasting event on April 24 at the Detroit Historical Museum.
