Issued by Kentucky Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control, with your city or county ABC administrator, at step 5 of 6 in the opening sequence: alcohol permits.
A microbrewery brews up to the statutory barrel limit and, with the matching retail drink license for its taproom, sells its own beer by the glass and to go at the brewery. The federal TTB brewer’s notice comes first, the premises must sit in wet or moist territory and the local administrator must approve the location.
