ABC Licensing, TTB Permits, Problem Solving
High Touch, Low Hassle ABC Consulting
California’s hospitality industry is one of the best in the world. It’s purveyors are vibrant, generous, creative… but not well-suited to the bureaucratic framework that has evolved right alongside.
The California Dept. of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) offers over 80 license types for (almost) every type of alcohol-related business. Winery, brewery, distillery, importer & wholesaler, restaurant, bar, or liquor store; whatever your pursuit in California, to collect revenue from the sale of alcohol, you need a license.
I offer a bridge between the creativity of my clients and the rule-oriented mindset of the state and federal bureaucrats. I love to help usher interesting projects through the antiquated 678 page ABC Act and keep your energy freed up for building a beautiful business.

Areas of Expertise
Retail Licenses
Restaurants, bars, hotels, motels, bottle shops, gas stations and more. If you want to legally have alcohol on site provided to your patrons for sale, you need the right license. I can help you understand the do’s and don’ts, the risks and best practices for proper ABC license operations. If the license is ‘controlled’ (ie. General Type 47, 48, 75 or 21) I have a strong network of California’s finest brokers to find you a license (or sell yours, if you have one).
Wholesalers & Importers
Bringing wine or mezcal in from out of state? You need an Import license, both with California and with the Feds (TTB). I can guide you on what is appropriate and handle both of these applications for you with minimal effort on your part.
Wineries, Breweries, Distilleries
The manufacturing licenses are important and particularly confusing in California. Wineries, breweries and distilleries all have different laws governing their operations and exceptions. I can help you understand what you can and cannot do with your 02, 75, 23, 74 or more.
