For craft brewers, an industry largely consisting of small businesses and where the product is made in steel plus packaged in aluminum, the newly applied tariffs are having a direct strike on their bottom lines.

The Trump administration plans to implement 25% tariffs on aluminum and steel. The craft beer industry could be hit particularly hard by the tariffs.

President Trump has also imposed a 25% tariff on all imported aluminum, a tough blow to the canning industry and breweries alike. From canned beers to kegs, the general manager of Voodoo Brewing Company in downtown Erie said the tariff will have a significant impact on their business.
