Frequently asked questions

What the permit data shows for this city
A city-level view of federal alcohol permits answers one specific question: who, in this place, is licensed by the U.S. government to produce, import, or distribute beverage alcohol? The TTB FOIA List of Permittees is the authoritative federal answer. Unlike a state liquor-license lookup, whose format and fields differ across all fifty states, every record here carries a federally standardized Basic Permit number that identifies the operating entity, its premises, and the class of activity it is authorized to conduct. That standardization is what makes a clean city-by-city comparison possible.
A concentration of permit holders in one city usually tracks a few drivers: proximity to grape or grain supply for producers, a port or dense population center for importers and wholesalers, or a local market that supports tasting rooms and craft demand. Breweries are not part of this picture, they hold a Brewer's Notice under a separate federal statute and are not published in this list. Counts reflect permit premises addresses as filed with the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau, not retail outlets or production volume.
