Wisconsin has 995 active federal alcohol Basic Permits - 253 wineries, 125 distilleries, 177 importers, and 440 wholesalers. That is the 22nd most of any U.S. state or territory.

What is Wisconsin's per-capita permit rate?

Wisconsin has 16.8 federal alcohol permits per 100,000 residents (U.S. Census Vintage-2023 population), ranking 38th by density. Per-capita rates are high in wine- and spirits-producing states with smaller populations.

Which Wisconsin city has the most permit holders?

Milwaukee leads Wisconsin with 123 federal alcohol permit holders, followed by Madison, LA Crosse, Green Bay.

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 Wisconsin's count-vs-density split

Wisconsin holds 995 federal alcohol permits (#22 of 52 by count) but ranks #38 at 16.8 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.
