Corporate Colleague Outing at Hamburg Brewing Company

On Tuesday, September 22, 2026, Merchants Insurance Group welcomed corporate colleagues to Hamburg Brewing Company for the annual Corporate Colleague Outing!

Each summer, Merchants celebrates its colleagues through a series of Colleague Appreciation events, culminating in the Corporate Colleague Outing in September. This annual tradition gives colleagues the opportunity to spend time together outside of the office and celebrate their hard work and accomplishments in the first three quarters of the year.

Guests enjoyed appetizers and beverages before sitting down for a buffet dinner of salad, beef on weck, chicken parmesan, macaroni and cheese, vegetables, and mini pastries for dessert.

Like many Merchants events, the Colleague Outing also included the chance to win a variety of prizes! Each attendee was entered into raffle drawings for gift cards, tickets to local events, and Merchants merchandise – Merchantsdise.

The Colleague Outing was the final event in the Colleague Appreciation summer event series at the corporate office, which included:

Catered lunch from Pita Gourmet in June

Colleague Social at Other Half Brewing in July
