Bob Pease, president and CEO of the Brewers Association, issued the following statement on the steel and aluminum tariffs:
“The Brewers Association opposes the recently imposed tariffs on steel and aluminum products, as we believe it undermines the Trump Administration’s pro-job, pro-growth agenda. The market uncertainty and financial penalties created by these tariffs negatively affect a growing manufacturing sector of the American economy: the craft brewing industry. We urge this Administration to reconsider these tariffs, as they place an unnecessary burden on small, Main Street business owners who are creating thousands of jobs and pouring money back into their local economies.”
