Micro-breweries differ from more traditional, large scale brewers, presenting owners with a unique set of risks. A typical business insurance policy is therefore not always adequate to cover the unique risks faced by micro-brewers and distillers. That's why we've worked with an insurance provider who understands these risks and have created a product, Premier Brewery and Distillery insurance, with specific covers designed to suit the needs of the micro-brewery and distillery industry as standard.

Brewery insurance FAQs
Breweries are at high risk of various hazards that can cause significant financial losses to your business. Accidents like fire, theft, floods, and other natural calamities can occur at any time, causing damage to your stock, equipment, and premises. Without proper insurance, you could be faced with substantial financial losses that could put your business at risk.
Having brewery insurance in place can provide financial protection and help you recover from unforeseen events. It can cover the cost of repairing or replacing your stock, equipment, and building, as well as compensating for any damage caused to third-party property or injury to an employee.
