About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the beer bond actually covers

Virginia ABC licenses beer manufacturers, bottlers, and wholesalers under Va. Code §4.1-239. These licensees file monthly reports of the beer they manufacture, bottle, or sell and pay the corresponding excise tax to the Board — and a surety bond stands behind that tax.

The bond guarantees the Board that the excise tax owed on beer sold to licensed retailers will be paid. If a licensee fails to remit, the Board can recover against the bond up to its penal sum.

The Board sizes the bond to your tax liability, with a statutory range from $1,000 up to $100,000. This $2,500 tier is priced at $100 flat; higher ABC-set amounts are priced separately. If the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety — it's a guarantee, not insurance for you.

Va. Code §4.1-239 (Virginia ABC)Under Va. Code §4.1-239, beer manufacturers, bottlers, and wholesalers licensed by the Virginia Alcoholic Beverage Control Board file monthly reports and pay the beer excise tax, and must post a surety bond guaranteeing that tax. The Board sets the amount based on the licensee's tax liability, with a statutory range of $1,000 to $100,000. Confirm your required amount with the Board.
