More about this list
A federal permit covers everything from a two-person craft operation to industrial alcohol producers, bottlers and rectifiers, which is why the permit count is well above the roughly 2,700 craft distilleries the industry counts. The onDistilleryTrail flag marks the craft-shaped subset and returns 2,108, right in line with that figure, so you can work with either the full permitted universe or the consumer-facing craft segment. Barrel, still, bottle, closure and label suppliers, distributors, tasting-room and hospitality vendors, and anyone tracking the craft spirits boom use this. Kentucky's 306 plants and the concentration in California, New York and Texas show where the industry actually sits.

Using ChatGPT, Claude or an API?
No setup needed. Ask ChatGPT or Claude your question about the US Distilleries & Distilled Spirits Plants and give it this page: it can open https://locationlists.com/find?dataset=distillery-list with the filters you need and show you the count and price.
Using ChatGPT or Claude? Tell it to answer from locationlists.com/find — no account, no connector.
How assistants ask
No connector needed. Any AI assistant can answer from this site with a web link, no connector, no account: open https://locationlists.com/find with the question as query parameters.
If a question needs filtering, distance, drive time, combining lists or a price, open a /find link: either put the question itself in q=, or build the structured link. The answer does not need an API, a connector or an account.
Simplest, the question itself: https://locationlists.com/find?q=<the question in plain words>
Or set the parts yourself: https://locationlists.com/find?dataset=<slug>&state=<ST>&city=<city>&county=<county>&zip=<zip>&near=<place or zip>&radius=<miles>&drive=<minutes>&where=<column>:<op>:<value>&total=<rows>
Leave out what the question does not need. Use radius for straight-line miles or drive for minutes of driving (5 to 60), not both; near can name several places separated by | to reach from any of them. To ask about several lists at once, use datasets with two or more names, or category with a kind of business. To compare two lists, add relate=nearest and the other list with b. in front of its parameters. To count by area, use areas=county (or zip, state, metro). To keep only places whose county, ZIP code, metro area or state meets a Census figure, add area_where (for example county:population>1000000); with areas, per=100000 gives counts per 100,000 residents.

For developers
Every step below has a no-connector equivalent: https://locationlists.com/find?dataset=distillery-list with the same filters as query parameters.
- Connect your agent to
https://locationlists.com/mcp(no key, no signup). - Call
count_locationswithdataset: "distillery-list"and any filter — it is free, and returns how many rows match and what they cost. - Fetch the rows with
query_locations: $1.20 per 100 rows from this dataset. Above 3,271 rows, buying the whole file is cheaper.
Paid in USDC over x402 — the agent gets an HTTP 402 with the exact price, signs, and retries. Money moves only after rows are delivered, so a failed or empty query costs nothing. Setup for Claude, Cursor and VS Code
?Frequently Asked Questions
How many Distilleries & Distilled Spirits Plants are there in the US?
There are 6,542 Distilleries & Distilled Spirits Plants in the US as of October 2026. They are in all 50 states, DC and Puerto Rico. California has the most, with 644.
Why 6,525 when there are about 2,700 craft distilleries?
A distilled spirits plant permit is not the same thing as a craft distillery. It also covers bottlers, rectifiers, blenders and industrial alcohol producers. Filter on the onDistilleryTrail flag for the craft-shaped subset and you get 2,108, which matches the industry count.
Where do the coordinates come from?
The federal register has none, so the 32% with coordinates come from the craft directory we merged in. The remainder have a full street address and can be geocoded; we do not invent coordinates for the rest.
Is this the same source as your winery dataset?
Same federal register, different permit class. If you want spirits and wine together, or the whole beverage alcohol production universe including breweries, we build merged files on request.
