Brewery Insurance
Brewery Community Event Insurance
Breweries are often asked to host fundraisers, school events and community days. They are good for the local profile, but you still carry the liability.
Example
How cover can respond in practice
A charity night is held at a taproom and a guest trips over an extension lead. Public liability can respond to the claim, subject to policy terms and the event being covered.
