Summary

78% Informative

Canada enacted a 25 percent tariff on U.S. products including spirits and beer in early March in retaliation for levies imposed on Canadian goods by President Trump .

Craft distillers say they are particularly hard-hit because they see other countries as better targets for growth than parts of the highly regulated and crowded market.

Canada accounts for nearly 40 percent of American craft beer exports.

It's unclear how this year 's tariffs will affect the industry's bottom line or if that could translate to higher prices for consumers.

Australia ’s wine exports to China were “pretty much killed” when the Chinese government levied tariffs as high as 218 percent .

Some alcohol companies have already felt a hit.
