Brewery/Brewpub Federal Permit

Depending on your business, the permit may require registration, bond payment, appropriate use of facility, labeling requirements, paying excise taxes, reporting requirements and/or other actions. If you've decided to brew beer for sale then you must first qualify with TTB by submitting a Brewer's Notice application. A brewery may be established to produce malt beverages, operate a brewpub or micro-brewery or conduct an alternating proprietorship with another brewery. There are also labeling requirements. As a TTB-regulated industry member, you may be responsible for paying federal excise taxes. Your obligation as a taxpayer will depend on your circumstances and business type. You may have to submit a sample.
