Trump's massive new tariffs could have distressing consequences for your beer purchases

http://www.businessinsider.com/beer-price-after-trump-aluminum-tariff-2018-2

Trump announced new tariffs — taxes on imports — of 25% on foreign steel and 10% on aluminum.

While a new tax on importing aluminum would have widespread economic effects, one of the those consequences would likely include an increase in the cost of producing beer — and in turn a bump in the end product price. The Beer Institute, a national trade association, blasted recommendations for new tariffs from the Commerce Department when they were released in February.

"If the president accepts any of the recommendations from the Commerce Department's report on aluminum imports, it will dramatically increase the cost of aluminum in the US and put at risk American jobs in the beer industry, as well other industries that are users of aluminum," the institute said in a statement.

The Commerce Department recommended a tariff of 7.7% on all aluminum imports, a 23.6% tariff on imports of the metal from 12 specific countries, or a quota (a limit on the amount of a good imported from a specific country) on all aluminum imports.

10. Hipsters drink PBR too

It's just so ironic don't you get it?

13. That's funny.

I'm so disconnected from hipsters that I had no idea. I'm more connected to the mud-holes. The only thing I know about hipsters, as a general rule, is that they desperately care about appearance. Image it a part of every thought in every area of their life. So one group drinks the crap because they truly don't care about appearances. The other group drinks the garbage because they desperately want you to think they don't care about appearance.

To anyone offended by my gross generalizations, I will apologize at the time and place of my choosing.

11. Replacing pipes is a constant in any production industry

I used to work for and industrial supply company. Breweries constantly replace fittings and the pipes.

12. I doubt they use aluminum pipes. The aluminum is for the canning process.

Large breweries use cans more than smaller breweries (with a few exceptions like Dale's Pale ale.)
