Frequently asked questions

How many federal alcohol permits are in Montana?

Montana has 271 active federal alcohol Basic Permits - 48 wineries, 43 distilleries, 52 importers, and 128 wholesalers. That is the 45th most of any U.S. state or territory.

What is Montana's per-capita permit rate?

Montana has 23.9 federal alcohol permits per 100,000 residents (U.S. Census Vintage-2023 population), ranking 18th by density. Per-capita rates are high in wine- and spirits-producing states with smaller populations.

Which Montana city has the most permit holders?

Bozeman leads Montana with 29 federal alcohol permit holders, followed by Kalispell, Missoula, Billings.

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.
