Green Bay, Wisconsin — Alcohol Producers

What the Data Shows for Green Bay, Wisconsin

The federal TTB permittee registry lists 29 active alcohol producers with a Green Bay, Wisconsin address — 18 breweries, 7 distilleries, and 4 wineries. Every entry in the table below carries a unique federal permit number issued by the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau. Unlike state liquor license lookups that change format across the 50 states, TTB permit numbers are federally standardized: they identify the operating entity, the premises address, and the class of alcohol the facility is authorized to produce. That consistency is what makes cross-state comparisons of producer counts possible.

Concentration is the story city-level data tells best. A city with 29 producers clustered inside its limits usually reflects one of four drivers: a favorable local zoning regime, historic access to grain or grape supply, a tourism economy that supports tasting rooms, or a dense urban craft market willing to pay craft-tier prices. The mix of breweries, distilleries, and wineries visible here suggests a diversified beverage economy rather than a single-category hub.

Federal TTB permits are necessary but not sufficient to operate commercially. Producers in Green Bay must also hold their Wisconsin state ABC (Alcoholic Beverage Control) license, meet local zoning requirements, and in most states route product through licensed wholesalers before it reaches retail — the three-tier system that descends from Prohibition-era reform. If a producer appears here but not in Wisconsin's state ABC database (or vice versa), that gap usually signals a recently issued permit, a permit surrender in progress, or a records-lag issue rather than anything substantive.
