If you operate a brewery, winery, or distillery, and are ready to expand your premises, it is important to be up to date with current Alcohol & Tobacco Tax & Trade Bureau ("TTB") regulations regarding non-contiguous premises.

In general, a brewery, winery, or distillery can add a non-contiguous location to their existing permit as an amendment (as opposed to submitting a new permit), so long as the non-contiguous location is within 10 miles from the original premises. Note that a non-contiguous extension should not be confused with a contiguous extension separated by public right of ways; that is an entire issue in and of itself.
What's required for the permit amendment? To submit the amendment in Permits Online ("PONL") you will need:
1) a copy of the non-contiguous location lease or deed;
2) a copy of the non-contiguous location diagram and building description; and
3) an updated bond (if necessary, depending on your Federal Excise Tax obligations).
Lastly, do not forget state and local considerations for this process, as they can vary considerably.
