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 $200 flat — and 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.

After you buy

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.

If a claim is made

A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.

The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the $20,000 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.

Renewal and term

The bond runs to December 31 whatever day you buy; the premium covers the period to that date.

Renewal falls on the statutory date, December 31, in the year your term ends.

Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.

How to file it

File with the Alcohol & Tobacco Division. Your executed bond arrives by email on the Department of Revenue form, ready to file with your brewpub license application. Wet-ink original mailed on request.

What sets the price

The premium is fixed at $200 at the $20,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.

FAQ

Common questions.

How much is the Georgia brewpub bond?The premium is $200, set by our carrier for the $20,000 bond amount — the same for every brewpub. There is no quote process.
Do I pay the $20,000?No. You pay $200. 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?No credit check: the application collects no credit information. The application has — most applications approve instantly. Fixed-amount license bonds like this one rarely need more than that.
When does it renew?The bond runs to December 31 whatever day you buy. We send renewal notices 60 and 30 days before expiration, and the bond must stay active for your brewpub license to stay valid.
Which A-rated carriers underwrite these bonds?Typically Arch Insurance Company (A.M. Best A+) or Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company (A.M. Best A). Which one writes your bond depends on the bond type and your state. The carrier's name and official signature are printed on the bond you receive.
