About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the brewpub bond actually guarantees

Georgia licenses brewpubs — restaurants that brew and sell their own beer on premises — through the Department of Revenue's Alcohol & Tobacco Division. The license is conditioned on a performance and tax liability bond that backs the excise tax and fees the brewpub owes the state.

The bond requires the brewpub to promptly pay all sums due as taxes, license fees, rental charges, penalties, and interest, and to faithfully comply with Georgia alcohol law and the rules of the State Revenue Commissioner. If the brewpub fails to pay, the Department of Revenue can collect the outstanding amount through the bond.

The bond amount is $20,000 and must stay active for the life of the license. We issue it at a flat 3% — $600 — with no credit check, on the Department of Revenue’s bond form, ready to file with your license application.

O.C.G.A. § 3-5-25.1 (Alcohol & Tobacco Division)Georgia's brewpub license performance and tax liability bond is required under O.C.G.A. § 3-5-25.1 and the rules of the Department of Revenue's Alcohol & Tobacco Division. The $20,000 bond conditions the brewpub to promptly pay all taxes, license fees, rental charges, penalties, and interest due, and to faithfully comply with Georgia alcohol law and the rules of the State Revenue Commissioner — letting the Department collect outstanding amounts through the bond on default.

FAQs

Common questions.

If yours isn't here, the bond team can usually answer within the hour.

How much is the Georgia brewpub bond? +
The premium is $600 — a flat 3% of the $20,000 bond amount, the same for every brewpub. The $20,000 is set by the state, so there is no quote process.
Do I pay the $20,000? +
No. You pay $600. The $20,000 is the surety's maximum liability to the Department of Revenue if the brewpub fails to pay taxes or fees — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
What does the bond guarantee? +
That the brewpub promptly pays all taxes, license fees, rental charges, penalties, and interest, and complies with Georgia alcohol law and the State Revenue Commissioner’s rules. If it does not, the Department of Revenue can collect through the bond — and if the surety pays, you repay the surety.
Is there a credit check? +
Not on this bond — the application has no credit section at all. Fixed-amount license bonds like this one don't need one.
When does it renew? +
Terms run 1, 2, or 3 years — your choice at purchase. We send renewal notices 60 and 30 days before expiration, and the bond must stay active for your brewpub license to stay valid.
