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.

U.S. tariffs on steel and aluminum imports are poised to escalate costs for the oilfield service companies behind North America's vast energy industry, as their operations rely heavily on these metals.

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.
