FAQs for brewers and distillers

Navacord provides competitively priced insurance for breweries and distilleries of all sizes. The actual cost of your policy will depend on the scale of your operations, your annual revenue, and the number of employees you have. It could also be impacted by your past claims and insurance history.
Brewery and distillery insurance can cover things that typical commercial insurance does not. For example, if you experience spoilage, contamination, or damage to a particular batch, it can help cover your losses. It can also cover business interruptions caused by others in your supply chain.
