- PlainAlcohol
Independent alcohol-permit data publisher
PlainAlcohol reformats the public TTB FOIA List of Permittees into a searchable directory and publishes plain-language guides explaining what the federal alcohol-permit record shows. Directory pages are generated directly from the TTB dataset without alteration, and guides are checked against that same public source. PlainAlcohol accepts no payment, sponsorship, or promoted placement from any permit holder or covered entity, and publishes informational content only, not legal or business advice.
