BEER DISTRIBUTOR &WHOLESALER INSURANCE
Warehouse, pallets, and a delivery fleet — specialty coverage for beer distributors and alcohol wholesalers.
A BEER DISTRIBUTOR RUNS A WAREHOUSE, A FLEET, AND A LIABILITY CHAIN.
A beer distributor operates a warehouse, a delivery fleet, and a distribution network that carries product liability from production to the retail or on-premise account. Every driver on the road, every pallet in the warehouse, and every account on the delivery route creates exposure that standard commercial policies rarely price correctly.
Trucks and vans making daily deliveries create significant commercial auto liability across the territory.
Beer inventory, refrigeration, and warehouse equipment are high-value property at the distribution facility.
Beer moving through the distribution chain carries product liability for the distributor from pickup to delivery.
Professional delivery drivers operating in traffic and at loading docks face a high workers comp exposure.

STRAIGHT ANSWERS.
What does beer distributor insurance cover?
Beer distributor insurance covers commercial auto for the delivery fleet, warehouse property and cargo, product liability for beer in distribution, general liability for warehouse operations, and workers compensation for drivers and warehouse staff.
Is the delivery fleet the biggest liability for a beer distributor?
Commercial auto is typically the most significant liability exposure. Trucks making daily deliveries across a territory create constant auto liability that needs to be properly sized for the fleet and distribution area.
Is beer inventory in the warehouse covered?
Warehouse beer inventory can be covered as commercial property. Accurate inventory valuation and refrigeration coverage for temperature-sensitive products are important parts of the program.
Does a beer distributor carry product liability?
Yes. A beer distributor holds product liability for the beer as it moves through the distribution chain. If a product issue is traced to the distribution process, the distributor's liability is reviewed alongside the producer's.
Is a self-distributing brewery treated like a beer distributor?
A brewery that self-distributes carries both production and distribution exposure. The distribution fleet, product in transit, and delivery driver workers comp all need to be addressed in the brewery's program.
