Brewery Insurance
Keg Insurance for Breweries
Kegs are expensive, they go missing, and they spend a lot of their life on someone else’s premises. A small brewery can have tens of thousands of dollars tied up in them.




Example
How cover can respond in practice
A venue is hit by a fire and 20 of your kegs are destroyed. Cover for kegs held at customer premises, if arranged, can help with replacement, subject to policy terms and limits.
