Frequently asked questions

How many federal alcohol permits are in Idaho?

Idaho has 402 active federal alcohol Basic Permits - 125 wineries, 35 distilleries, 69 importers, and 173 wholesalers. That is the 35th most of any U.S. state or territory.

What is Idaho's per-capita permit rate?

Idaho has 20.5 federal alcohol permits per 100,000 residents (U.S. Census Vintage-2023 population), ranking 24th by density. Per-capita rates are high in wine- and spirits-producing states with smaller populations.

Which Idaho city has the most permit holders?

Boise leads Idaho with 80 federal alcohol permit holders, followed by Caldwell, Eagle, Ketchum.

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 Idaho's count-vs-density split

Idaho holds 402 federal alcohol permits (#35 of 52 by count) but ranks #24 at 20.5 per 100,000 residents — count rank and density rank diverge on this state. Federal Basic Permits authorize FAA Act activity, not retail sale, and are not a substitute for the state ABC license.
