Business insurance

Insurance for Craft Breweries

A craft brewery faces broad risk — production, hospitality and a product people consume. Product liability is central because you are making something for human consumption, while public liability covers the taproom crowd. Add property and equipment cover for tanks, the brewhouse and the canning line, plus stock cover for ingredients and finished beer.

Workers' compensation is required once you have brewing and taproom staff, and a liquor liability angle applies to the taproom. Premiums often sit around the ~$6,000 mark and scale with production and venue size. With many policies renewing around 30 June, review cover before the new financial year.

Common questions

Craft Breweries — insurance questions

Why is product liability so important for a brewery?

Because you are producing a beverage people consume, a contamination or labelling issue can lead to a serious claim or recall. Product liability responds to harm caused by your beer, which public liability alone will not cover.

Does running a taproom change my insurance needs?

Yes. A taproom adds public liability exposure for patrons and a licensed-venue dimension on top of your production cover. Tell your broker about the venue side so both the brewing and hospitality risks are properly covered.
