Safeguarding the Craft: New Insurance Solution from Partners& Backs Independent Breweries with Tailored Coverage
In a significant boost for the independent brewing industry, a new insurance solution has been launched, specifically crafted to meet the unique challenges faced by small and medium-sized breweries. Backed by global insurance giant AXA, this innovative policy goes the extra mile, offering a suite of protections that speak directly to the heart of brewing operations.
Key features include:
- Product liability cover that extends to North America, a critical market for many UK-based craft breweries. This opens doors for international expansion with the peace of mind that certain legal and financial risks are mitigated.
- Product recall cover up to £100,000, a crucial safety net in a sector where reputational damage from a faulty batch can have far-reaching consequences.
- Cover up to £10,000 for bursting bottles or barrels—an often underestimated risk that has been recently highlighted in the press.
A notable aspect of the Partners& solution includes extended business interruption coverage to include yeast contamination, addressing a hazard that can bring production to a standstill. For breweries, where the integrity of the yeast strain is often the backbone of brand identity, this inclusion is a clear recognition of the nuanced risks these businesses face.
This new offering developed by the team at Partners& marks a refreshing shift toward insurance solutions that truly understand the operational realities of independent brewers. With AXA’s backing and a thoughtfully constructed policy structure, it’s a timely solution for an industry that continues to innovate—and needs insurance that can keep up.
As independent breweries grow in number and ambition, having comprehensive, industry-specific coverage isn’t just smart—it’s essential. This product offers not just financial protection, but crucially the confidence for brewers to maintain production and innovation.
