Black Taproom

What the Data Shows for Black Taproom

Black Taproom operates as a federally licensed Brewery in San Diego, California. Its TTB permit number is TTB-BR-CA-43643, issued on 2011-02-03 and currently shown as active in the federal permittee registry. That registry is maintained by the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau — the U.S. Treasury agency that regulates the production, labeling, and federal taxation of alcoholic beverages. Every record displayed on this page maps 1:1 to a row in that public, FOIA-released database.

A Brewer's Notice, the federal license class that covers Black Taproom, authorizes the facility to commercially brew and sell beer. Separate federal rules apply to taproom sales, contract brewing, and alternating-proprietor arrangements — a brewery can legally produce beer for other labels under the same Brewer's Notice.

Federal permits do not stand alone. Black Taproom must also hold an active California state ABC license covering this premises, and in most states must route product to retailers only through licensed wholesalers. If the federal permit status changes — surrendered, terminated, or transferred — the state ABC record and the distributor's books should reflect that change within weeks. Statewide, California currently hosts 2,054 federally licensed producers, of which 404 are breweries, 137 are distilleries, and 1,478 are wineries — context that helps compare this single-producer record against the state's broader beverage economy.
