Harbor Taproom

What the Data Shows for Harbor Taproom

Harbor Taproom operates as a federally licensed Brewery in Chicago, Illinois. Its TTB permit number is TTB-BR-IL-53673, issued on 2011-10-03 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 Harbor 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. Harbor Taproom must also hold an active Illinois 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, Illinois currently hosts 343 federally licensed producers, of which 179 are breweries, 73 are distilleries, and 56 are wineries — context that helps compare this single-producer record against the state's broader beverage economy.
