Craft Beverage Insurance
An Emerging Industry with Unique Insurance Needs
In 1987, craft brewing was in its very early stages. When the Northampton Brewery opened, it was only the second brewpub in the Northeast. Peter Whalen recognized that the brewing operation created exposures not contemplated by standard insurance programs, so he set out to design and market a custom-tailored product for this new and rapidly growing industry.
The Art of Craft Beverage Insurance
As the craft beverage industry has evolved, Whalen Insurance has evolved with it. Today, more insurance product options exist for breweries and distilleries than ever before–and certainly more than were available over thirty years ago. With that diversity has come more challenges. We’ll ask the right questions and listen to your concerns, custom-tailoring coverage that protects you, no matter what’s in your glass.
