Lake Liquor Distribution

What the Data Shows for Lake Liquor Distribution

Lake Liquor Distribution operates as a federally licensed Wholesaler in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Its TTB permit number is TTB-WH-MN-25089, issued on 2007-03-04 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 Wholesaler's Basic Permit, the class that covers Lake Liquor Distribution, authorizes the middle tier of the three-tier distribution system — buying alcoholic beverages from producers and importers and reselling them to licensed retailers. Most states mandate this separation as a Prohibition-era safeguard against vertical producer-to-retail consolidation.

Federal permits do not stand alone. Lake Liquor Distribution must also hold an active Minnesota 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, Minnesota currently hosts 272 federally licensed producers, of which 150 are breweries, 55 are distilleries, and 32 are wineries — context that helps compare this single-producer record against the state's broader beverage economy.
