IA brewpub beer permit bonds.
$300. Five minutes.
A class “A” or special class “A” (brewpub) beer permit holder in Iowa files a $10,000 surety bond with the Alcoholic Beverages Division. Ours is $300 flat — 3% of the bond amount, the same for every permit — and there is no credit check.

What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Iowa regulates the sale and taxation of beer under Iowa Code chapter 123, administered by the Alcoholic Beverages Division. A rule adopted in 2018 (effective September 5, 2018) requires a $10,000 surety bond to be filed with the division for each class “A” or special class “A” beer permit application.
A special class “A” permit is the brewpub privilege — it lets a permittee manufacture and sell beer at retail. The bond stands behind the permittee’s compliance with chapter 123, including the beer barrel tax the state collects, so the state and the public have a financial backstop.
The requirement applies to new applicants and to permittees renewing. If the permittee violates chapter 123 — for example, by failing to remit beer tax — the state can recover against the bond, and if the surety pays, the permittee repays the surety.
