Trump tariffs hike price of beer cans, squeezing Maine craft brewers

Trump's Aluminum Tariffs Leave 40 Ohio Craft Brewers With The Tab

20,000 craft beer industry jobs expected to be lost this year

Among those other industries, those in business of brewing craft beer have also raised concerns of aluminum tariffs forcing them to raise prices.

"The aluminum tariff alone could cost the industry $347.7 million and result in the loss of more than 20,000 jobs nationwide,” argued Jim McGreevy, the president of the Washington, D.C.-based Beer Institute, in a previous statement to Fox News.

About time.

Trade wars are easy to win .... :drinkup:GFYBand:GFYBand:GFYBand

Doesn't seem to be having much of an effect on the trading price of aluminum...

I would have expected the trading price to be affected as well.

Do a search on Google for "trump aluminum tariff" and boom....

Notice how the price skyrocketed over 800 since Trump's election?

I do. But, if I was investing in aluminum, this would make me very happy.

I remember about 10 or 11 years ago when crude was super high, some buddies of mine were all pretty happy about it.

I don't care too much for canned beer. It sucks if people are losing their jobs over this though.

Makes me think the Trump administration is fucking with these tariffs just to control the market and turning some profits with investments.

What do you think? Certainly wouldn't surprise me.

The coal & oil commodities have increased 28% under Trump this year and the World bank is saying another 4% minimum next year.

So the price of rent, credit, cars, gas, food, beer, milk, prescription drugs & soda have all gone up higher than the 2% wage increase under Trump. Inflation. Good for big industry bad for the little guy.

Decimated? How many breweries have closed?

Anything to defend Trump, even at the expense if your believed craft beer industry. Shameless

Read the 4 articles I posted links to and educate yourself about what's happening to your industry.

Due to big business beer company lobbying Trump's FDA is forcing all small craft beers to have "nutritional labelling". Another huge expense for small craft beer companies.

Trumps FDA To Require Craft Beer To Have Nutritional Labeling

Don't get me wrong. I am against these tariffs 100%.

who drinks craft beers out of cans?? I gave up beer and switched to vodka and stuff 4 years ago but when I drank beer I only bought bottles cause beer in cans didn't taste as good..

No, I'm not a trump supporter just pointing out that you would think more people would just drink bottles if the price of cans was going up. Tariffs suck!

Raising the prices of domestic canned beer, now that will hit Trumpers where it hurts the most.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

I only drink good quality beer in glass bottles.

---> Just more hysterical BS from BW, shocker :1orglaugh

:rasta

Good point. Doing a Google image search all I see for craft beers is bottles but got 1 pic Lol

Craft beers are also shipped in kegs. :2 cents:

yep, when Ol Swillwaukee, Busch, and Natural Light go up

Oh yeah good point :thumbsup

Kegs are not aluminum.

Let there be no mistake, a lot of craft breweries are transitioning to cans but no one is closing because of the aluminum, much less being decimated.

Did I say they were all aluminum? Better put on your reading glasses old man. :1orglaugh

Are there not aluminum and "STEEL" tarrifs?

Just for the record though... some kegs are made out of aluminum but most are stainless steel.

↑↑↑ Truth

The tarriffs began July 9th. It hasn't even been a month yet and prices are just starting to increase and stock tank for various American companies being impacted.

Poland is fighting back. Good for them.

:throwup

Lets face it none of this affects Chump. Unless the cost of his happy meal goes up, he could care less.

To be fair, I aint that fussy and I'll pretty much drink anything out of anything if its gonna get me a high...

The other fucking night I found myself drinking the brake fluid out of my car cause I didn't have anything else, but it was OK, cause I can easily stop now whenever I want...

maga.............

Don't mess with beer :2 cents: . . .

Too late, the craft beer industry is tanking but it's ok with Baddog because #Trump , even though baddogs whole existence is his craft beer site.
