Beer and brewing are your passions. It’s a part of you. You are authorities in creating beers that people love to drink and your craft is as much of an art as it is a science.

Folks in the beer industry speak their own language and use words such as “sparging,” “hop nose,” and “dopplebock.”  How do we know this? Because not only are we experts in this category, but our president Chris Ballard is a home brewer himself.

The risk management world also has it’s own confusing language. And that’s where we come in. We will work closely with you to translate the difficult jargon of insurance into words you understand…so if the worst happens you will have the knowledge you need after a loss.

Our brokers know the beer industry inside and out and will work closely with you to craft a risk management and insurance program designed around your unique “risk profile.”  This includes identifying exposures to loss, determining risk tolerance levels and figuring out what is truly important.

Our President, Chris Ballard, has dabbled in home brewing for many years, and enjoys exploring the huge variety of local and regional microbrews available in the Pacific Northwest. His other passion is risk management and insurance and helping companies make sure that if a catastrophe occurred, the business could continue on.

One sunny afternoon, Chris was enjoying a beer at a local pub with a client. It occurred to him that he could mix his passion for beer and insurance together — and BeerInsurance.com was born.

BeerInsurance.com is a wholly owned division of The Ballard Agency, Inc., headquartered in Kirkland, Washington. The Ballard Agency was founded in 1963 by Daniel F. Ballard and has served the risk management and insurance needs for the Pacific Northwest since.
