Michigan has 1,881 active federal alcohol Basic Permits - 754 wineries, 318 distilleries, 338 importers, and 471 wholesalers. That is the 11th most of any U.S. state or territory.

What is Michigan's per-capita permit rate?

Michigan has 18.7 federal alcohol permits per 100,000 residents (U.S. Census Vintage-2023 population), ranking 32nd by density. Per-capita rates are high in wine- and spirits-producing states with smaller populations.

Which Michigan city has the most permit holders?

Detroit leads Michigan with 91 federal alcohol permit holders, followed by Grand Rapids, Traverse City, Ann Arbor.

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.

Michigan holds 1,881 federal alcohol permits (#11 of 52 by count) but ranks #32 at 18.7 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.
