What is brewery insurance?

Brewery insurance is a set of policies designed specifically for craft breweries. If you run a craft brewery, you need insurance. No ifs, no buts. If you serve alcohol to customers, then at the very least, you need to have liquor liability coverage. That’s one example. General liability is another coverage that you’ll likely need without exceptions – again, to ensure you are protected should a third party (such as a customer) get injured inside your brewery.

There are, of course, other coverages you should consider, including one for your commercial property (the brewery itself) as well as protection in the event of spoiled batches or product contamination. Most coverages may seem extraneous – until you realize just how prevalent some of these incidents can be. After all, breweries file claims all the time. Just because certain incidents haven’t impacted you yet doesn’t mean they won’t down the road.

The smart choice is to be prepared for anything. Within budget, of course.

Brewery insurance in Canada: What you need to know

Brewery insurance requirements in Canada vary by province, but there are some key considerations for all Canadian craft brewers. Understanding local regulations and industry standards is essential for compliance and protection.

In Canada, breweries must adhere to strict health and safety regulations, which can impact insurance coverage. Ensuring your brewery meets these standards can help you secure better insurance rates and reduce the risk of claims.
