Colorado is known for its large number of talented beer makers. Brewery insurance is a highly specialized form of commercial insurance that is designed to meet the very specific needs for businesses owners in the brewing industry. This insurance can cover your business against a wide variety of hazards such as property damage, liability lawsuits, workplace injuries, and property crimes. Though it is not required by law, most brewery owners opt to purchase it.
The cost of brewery insurance is based primarily on the size of your business and your overall sales. While a small Colorado brewery can expect to pay less than $10,000 a year for coverage, larger breweries typically pay rates of more than $100,000 a year. Besides size and revenue, other factors that can influence your rates include the number of employees you have, the age and quality of your tools and equipment, whether or not your business serves food and beer on premises and your production safety plan.
