U.S.C. 5415 requires brewers to keep records in such form and
containing such information as the Secretary of the Treasury may
prescribe by regulation as necessary to protect the revenue. Under
this authority, TTB regulations in 27 CFR part 25 require brewers
to keep usual and customary business records that allow TTB to
verify, for example, the quantities of raw materials received at a
brewery, the quantity of beer and cereal beverages produced and
removed taxpaid or without payment of tax from a brewery, and the
quantity of beer previously removed subject tax that is returned to
the brewery.
