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.

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 $2,500 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.
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
