Does Pennsylvania require a liquor bond?

Pennsylvania requires a Malt Beverage Tax bond only from malt-beverage manufacturers and importing agents; retail licensees post no state bond, and wine and spirits are sold through state stores.

Who posts a bond in Pennsylvania: Malt/brewed-beverage manufacturers and importing agents/distributors that owe malt-beverage tax. The regulator is the PA Liquor Control Board (control state); PA Dept. of Revenue (Malt Beverage Tax bond).

Typical amounts: Malt Beverage Tax bond, $5,000 minimum, tied to tax, renewed annually. You pay a small percentage of the bond amount as your premium. We confirm the exact figure before you pay.

Requirements and amounts change and vary by license class and locality — we verify your exact requirement with the state before you pay.

The coverage your GL policy leaves out

Yes — Liquor Code 4-497. Liquor liability insurance is separate from the bond.

Your standard general-liability policy excludes alcohol claims — so a single incident can hit you with no coverage. When we handle your bond, we also line up liquor liability, property/BOP and workers' comp. The bond satisfies the state; the insurance protects your business.
