Brewery Insurance
Brewery Goods in Transit Insurance
Delivering beer to venues and bottle shops puts stock on the road, and many policies don’t cover it unless you ask.




Example
How cover can respond in practice
A delivery van is involved in an accident and a pallet of packaged beer is crushed. Goods in transit cover can respond for the stock, while the van itself needs motor insurance, subject to policy terms.
