What is Wisconsin's per-capita permit rate?

Which Wisconsin city has the most permit holders?

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 April 2025, public U.S. government data, reformatted without alteration.
