I guess they just cannot help themselves. It's worse than a drug. Than heroin even. Got to blame everything on Donald Trump. The craft brew industry has already been struggling because that's the way of fads.
And the way of the market. Flood the market with too much stuff, the market recoils. Or folks' tastes change. Pants get baggy, then they get tight. But seriously, how many different brands of beer do you need to be cool?
Is beer snob to be a thing now too? Point is, the craft brew industry has been struggling hard but now lets make it all about Trump's tariffs or something.
- The trade war between the U.S. And the European Union threatens American whiskey exports, with a 50% tariff set to take effect on April 13.
- American whiskey exports plunged from $552 million in 2018 to $440 million in 2021 before recovering to $699 million.
- These tariffs threaten jobs, local agriculture, and centuries of progress in the whiskey industry, according to a craft distiller from Iowa.
- Small distillers are urging President Trump to negotiate zero-for-zero tariffs on American whiskey with the EU to protect their businesses and jobs.
