Control vs. License States

US states follow one of two regulatory models for alcohol distribution. Control states (also called monopoly states) operate government-run retail stores for spirits, giving the state direct control over wholesale and sometimes retail sales. License states allow private businesses to sell spirits through a licensing system. This distinction significantly affects how brands enter and compete in each market. Our data tracks TTB filings regardless of state model, giving you visibility into new brand activity in both regulatory environments.
