 If alcohol is involved in any way, you almost always should have liquor liability insurance coverage for you brewery, pub, bar and/or restaurant business.


 You NEED it if you:

  • Sell alcohol (beer, wine, spirits) 
  • Serve alcohol (taproom, tasting room, bar area) 
  • Manufacture + allow consumption onsite (brewery with tastings) 
  • Host events where alcohol is served 
  • Distribute AND host any on-premise exposure 

For a brewery with a taproom:
It’s not optional — it’s required exposure coverage.


Why General Liability is NOT Enough

Most business owners think GL covers this — it DOES NOT.

  • General Liability = slips, trips, basic injuries 
  • Liquor Liability = alcohol-related incidents 

Real claims liquor liability covers:

  • Drunk customer causes a car accident 
  • Overserved patron injures someone 
  • Fight or assault involving intoxication 
  • Third-party bodily injury caused by alcohol 

These are typically tied to Dram Shop Laws, which can hold the business responsible.


When You MIGHT NOT Need It

You may not need liquor liability if:

  • You only manufacture beer 
  • You never serve or sell directly to consumers 
  • You are strictly wholesale distribution only


Beer insurance coverage is called liquor liability in the insurance world, even though it is not actual liquor being served.

  • Liquor Liability = alcohol-related incidents 

Real claims liquor liability covers:

  • Drunk customer causes a car accident 
  • Overserved patron injures someone 
  • Fight or assault involving intoxication 
  • Third-party bodily injury caused by alcohol
