Brewery Insurance
Taproom Insurance
A taproom turns a production business into a hospitality business. You now have customers on site, alcohol being served, food trucks parked outside and a bar full of glass.




Example
How cover can respond in practice
A patron trips on a step on the way to the toilets and breaks a wrist. They claim against the taproom. Public liability can respond to legal costs and compensation, subject to policy terms.
