Brewery Lease Insurance Requirements
Most commercial leases include insurance requirements, and breweries tend to get a closer look because of fire, water and alcohol. Signing without checking can leave you in breach on day one.




Example
How cover can respond in practice
A brewery signs a lease that requires a minimum liability limit, but its existing policy is lower. The landlord sends a breach notice. A broker reviewing the lease before signing would have picked this up.
