Brewery Insurance
Brewery Returns and Faulty Product Insurance
Customers return cans that taste off, kegs that go flat and cartons that arrive damaged. Most returns are a business cost, but some become bigger problems.
Example
How cover can respond in practice
Several venues report a batch of kegs has an off flavour. The brewery collects and replaces them. If the cause is covered and recall cover is in place, it may help with the cost, but a simple quality issue without harm is often not insured.
