Frequently asked questions

How many federal alcohol permits are in Colorado?

Colorado has 1,710 active federal alcohol Basic Permits - 275 wineries, 175 distilleries, 460 importers, and 800 wholesalers. That is the 12th most of any U.S. state or territory.

What is Colorado's per-capita permit rate?

Colorado has 29.1 federal alcohol permits per 100,000 residents (U.S. Census Vintage-2023 population), ranking 12th by density. Per-capita rates are high in wine- and spirits-producing states with smaller populations.

Which Colorado city has the most permit holders?

Denver leads Colorado with 443 federal alcohol permit holders, followed by Boulder, Colorado Springs, Aurora.

Are breweries included?

No. Breweries do not hold an FAA Basic Permit, they operate under a Brewer's Notice (IRC §6103, protected from disclosure), so they are not in the public TTB List of Permittees this directory is built from.

Where does this data come from?

The TTB FOIA "List of Permittees," published August 2026, public U.S. government data, reformatted without alteration.

Reading Colorado's wholesalers-led permit book

Colorado's 1,710 permits are wholesalers-led (800, 47% of the book), ranking #12 nationally by count and #12 by per-capita density. Federal Basic Permits authorize FAA Act activity, not retail sale, and are not a substitute for the state ABC license.
