Only newly thrown dips and brews are permanent. Targets that currently have a weaker brew are not given permanent brew immediately; the buff has to run out first. If Permanent Brew is sold or sacrificed, all towers lose these buffs. Lych can steal the Permanent Brew buff.

Permanent Brew is an expensive upgrade, but with an effective midgame it can be afforded in CHIMPS in time for the mid-80's on most maps. It stands out the most on Least Cash Boss Events, which demand an army of cheap, highly buffable towers against all stages, and extreme Freeplay, which demands maximum buffs on every tower on screen. Some strong candidates for Permanent Brew include: Sun Avatar, 3-1-0 Destroyer, Bloonjitsu with Shinobi Tactics, and 2-0-4 Overdrive.
Despite its low range and the inability to be sold or sacrificed to retain its buff, there are multiple ways to counter this. The simplest is to use Support Chinook's Reposition ability to move it. Dark Knight and above can also be moved around the map to keep adding new targets later on. A few maps do have movable platforms that can allow Permanent Brew to keep finding new targets, with a notable example being Geared's smaller gear.
Permanent Brew largely does not require a crosspath, but Faster Throwing is optimal for time-sensitive scenarios such as Boss Events.

Permanent Brew is strong in the right use, but just to let it live up to more of its potential without requiring a chinook we are improving its range. — Update notes
Alchemist 220 stands out a little too effectively in the crosspath efficiency of Acidic Mixture Dip uptime combined with the reduced forced downtime at 320 and so is being reduced. — Update notes
Permabrew itself granting a range increase was annoying to prepare for and also somewhat hurt what was a very strong synergy for Chinook, so we’re taking away this bonus range but giving enough of a cash difference so that it can pair up with synergies like the Support Chinook more easily. — Update notes
All buffing potions: Should no longer fall on other towers that aren't the intended target (bug fix)
Note: Patches an exploit regarding quickly buying a Permanent Brew and landing brew on towers not normally able to accept brew (e.g. Etienne, Beast Handlers, non-5xx Villages)
Acidic Mixture Dip: No longer targets Nature's Ward Totems (bug fix)
Acidic Mixture Dip: Can now target 5-X-X Monkey Villages (bug fix)
Brew: no longer applies the range buff twice (bug fix)
