Code 2121 and Code 7390 “Beer or Ale Dealer – Wholesale & Drivers” shall not be assigned to the same risk unless the operations described by these classifications are conducted as separate and distinct businesses.

Code 2121 applies to employers engaged in the operation of a brewery where beer or ale beverages are manufactured.  This classification includes all operations that are involved in the making of beer or ale such as bottling, capping, labeling, distributing stations, warehouses, and sign erection or repair for the purpose of advertising the employer’s product.

Beer is a fermented beverage that contains ingredients such as, but not limited to, water, grain, yeast, hops and either wheat, rice, oats, barley, corn or rye depending on the employer’s formula.  These ingredients are brewed together, fermented and aged to produce beer or ale.  The taste and color of beer varies depending upon the type of grains used to make it and the employer’s specific formula.  The beer or ale is filled into bottles, cans or kegs.
