Frequently asked questions
How many federal alcohol permit holders are in Boston, Massachusetts?
Boston, Massachusetts has 131 businesses holding a federal alcohol Basic Permit - led by wholesalers (50). Each holds an active TTB FAA Basic Permit.
How many wineries are in Boston?
Boston has 19 bonded wineries holding a federal Basic Permit from the TTB.
Are breweries included?
No. Breweries do not hold an FAA Basic Permit, they file a Brewer's Notice (IRC §6103, protected from disclosure) - so they are not in the public TTB List of Permittees this directory uses.
How do I verify a permit?
Every record here comes from the TTB FOIA List of Permittees (April 2025). Confirm a specific permit's current status on the official TTB Public Permit Search.
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.
