Question on insurance for brewfests

[threebeardsbrewing]

We are a local home brewers in the central Pennsylvania area. We have been asked to do two fests this year and for one of them we are told that we need to hold our own liability insurance. Has anyone ran into a similar issue and what was your process of getting the insurance (costs/etc.)

I'd check with Probrewer.com. They probably have a much greater number of people who have gone through this. Homebrewers aren't really allowed to sell to the public, which is what you are doing when you charge for tickets to a festival.

It IS my understanding that there is a requirement for insurance. They might know if there are specific companies that specialize in this area.
