*Abstract:*                     ATF regulations require the name and address of the brewer to appear on labels of kegs, bottles, and cans of domestic beer. The regulations permit domestic brewers who operate more than one one brewery to show as their address on labels and kegs of beer, their (principal place of business) address. This label option may be used in lieu of showing the actual place of production on the label or of listing all of the brewer's locations on the label. There is no period of retention prescribed for this reporting requirement since the requirement is to provide identification of the brewer through labeling.
