Maryland alcohol industry score
One composite grade from Maryland's own TTB permit data, benchmarked against every other state and territory PlainAlcohol tracks (not an external industry standard). A state missing an input is graded on the remaining dimensions alone -- the missing weight moves to them rather than deflating the score.

Maryland has 1,206 active federal alcohol Basic Permits - 219 wineries, 87 distilleries, 371 importers, and 529 wholesalers. That is the 19th most of any U.S. state or territory.
What is Maryland's per-capita permit rate?
Maryland has 19.5 federal alcohol permits per 100,000 residents (U.S. Census Vintage-2023 population), ranking 26th by density. Per-capita rates are high in wine- and spirits-producing states with smaller populations.
Which Maryland city has the most permit holders?
Baltimore leads Maryland with 165 federal alcohol permit holders, followed by Silver Spring, Frederick, Rockville.
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 Maryland's count-vs-density split
