Frontier Risk Launches First On-Premise Insurance for THC Beverages
In an exciting development for the hospitality industry, Frontier Risk, a specialty insurance company tailored to emerging markets, has announced the launch of the first ever on-premise insurance program aligned specifically for establishments serving hemp-derived THC beverages. This strategic initiative seeks to address a significant protection gap currently faced by bars, restaurants, stadiums, and event organizers as the popularity of low-dose THC beverages skyrockets.
A Growing Trend in Beverage Choices
Low-dose THC beverages are witnessing a surge in demand as many consumers seek alternatives to traditional alcohol. However, existing general liability and liquor liability insurance policies often overlook the unique risks associated with serving these innovative products on-premises. Consequently, many hospitality businesses have struggled to secure adequate coverage for their operations, hindering their ability to innovate and keep pace with consumer trends.
Recognizing this gap,
Frontier Risk has tailored an insurance program designed to empower venues and event operators. Peter Berg, Chief Development Officer at Frontier Risk, stated, "Hospitality leaders are eager to innovate and meet consumer demand, but they can't afford uncertainty around on-premise THC beverage service. Our program empowers venues to deliver exceptional guest experiences while managing risk responsibly."
Tailored Coverage Options
The newly launched insurance program offers two flexible coverage options:
1.
Annual On-Premise Policy: This option is designed for year-round establishments like restaurants, bars, hotels, and stadiums that want to incorporate hemp-derived THC beverages into their regular service.
2.
Live-Event Policy: Perfect for one-off or short-term activations at concerts, festivals, sporting events, and conferences where THC beverages are sold or sampled.
Both policies seamlessly integrate with existing general and liquor liability insurance and provide higher limits for larger, high-traffic venues — a significant boon for those needing comprehensive protection as they experiment with THC beverages.
Robust Risk Management Support
In addition to tailored insurance coverage, each policy by Frontier Risk includes an integrated risk management toolkit. This valuable resource comprises:
- - Recommended signage for public display
- - Impairment mitigation protocols to ensure responsible service
- - Staff training guidelines to properly equip teams in handling these new beverage offerings
Additionally, policyholders receive a quarterly report updating trends in the market, potential claims scenarios, and essential underwriting developments within the THC beverage sector.
Embracing the Future of Social Drinking
As hemp-derived THC beverages become increasingly common in social settings, it is crucial for hospitality venues to adopt modern protection measures. Frontier Risk’s dedicated insurance program provides the necessary cover to aid operators in navigating this evolving landscape confidently.
By supporting establishments in offering these trending beverage options, Frontier Risk not only enhances customer experiences but also solidifies its position as a leader in insurance innovation tailored to the unique demands of emerging markets. For more information or to obtain a quote, visit
