Weekly lead intelligence · craft beverage
Every new distillery needs insurance. Be the first broker who calls.
X-Hail monitors newly issued federal TTB permits and delivers every new craft producer — distilleries, wineries, cideries, meaderies — to your inbox each Monday at 8am. Cleaned, filtered, and days old, not months.
The window
A new permit is a business with no insurance broker yet.
Before a craft producer can sell a single bottle, they need a federal TTB permit — and the moment it's issued, they're standing up a facility, buying equipment, and shopping for coverage: property, liquor liability, equipment breakdown, workers' comp.
That window is measured in weeks, and most brokers find out after it closes. By the time a new distillery shows up in a marketing list, it has a broker. X-Hail exists so you're the one calling while the decision is still open.
How it works
From federal register to your inbox, every Monday.
We watch the source
The TTB's permittee registry updates weekly. We pull it the moment it does — every new federal permit in the country.
We filter for craft producers
Distilleries, wineries, cideries, and meaderies only — importers, wholesalers, and mega-producers stripped out, duplicates removed.
You get a clean list, Monday 8am
A formatted email with every new producer: business name, permit type, and location — ready to work that morning.
Pricing

Straight answers
What you're actually paying for.
Isn't TTB permit data public?
Yes — completely public, and you could compile it yourself. You're not paying for access; you're paying for never doing the weekly pull, filter, de-dupe, and formatting work — and for never missing a Monday. We'd rather tell you that plainly than pretend the data is secret.
Who is this for?
Insurance brokers and agents who write craft beverage — distilleries, wineries, cideries, meaderies. If new producers in that space are your book, this feed is your prospecting engine. It also serves equipment vendors, packaging suppliers, and lenders who target the same window.
How fresh are the leads?
The TTB registry updates weekly; your Monday issue contains permits from the most recent cycle. These businesses are typically weeks from opening — early enough that most haven't placed coverage yet.
Can I filter to my state or region?
The standard feed is national with location on every row, so regional filtering takes seconds. Dedicated regional feeds are on the roadmap — tell us your territory when you request your free issue.
