Note: this business's name suggests a brewery operation, but its TTB record on file classifies this specific permit as an Importer -- a business can legally hold more than one permit class (for example, a winery producing brandy to fortify wine needs a separate Distilled Spirits Plant permit). This page reflects the permit class TTB assigned to permit number VA-I-21251 specifically, which may not be the business's primary product line.
