For the beer lovers.

In order to avoid the expected import duties, Huyghe has exported extra beer to the US en masse in recent weeks. "In about ten days, we have exported 32 containers, good for three months of extra stock," says De Laet. As a result, the total local stock now accounts for more than six months. "And all the beer in the containers that leave before April 9 is safe."

Huyghe will eventually absorb the higher import duties "partly with loss of margin, partly with prices". Possible production in the US is not an issue. "We are not going to brew local beer at rates of 20 percent," says De Laet, who does expect an impact on sales.

For those that insist the tariffs won't impact consumers.

I like beer and also like Trump's tariffs so if I have to pay a bit more for beer to help fix this country, I will do so.

Your thread asked about beer and I gave you an answer.

True, and I always like it when people engage the premise. In this case the premise is a starting point for a larger discussion.

Do tariffs impact consumers and will it fundamentally "fix the problem". So, can you describe what you see as the problem?

With all of the local breweries out there these days, no need to drink imported beer. Support your local businesses!

What if the imported beer is of a higher quality? Not to put too fine a point on it. Belgian beers have a tradition that pre-dates the discovery of the New World and have some unique favor profiles. Profiles not matched by your local brewery.

Best and probably one of the most exclusive beers in the world.

The blonde on the right is only 5.8 percent. Personally, weirdly enough, my drink of choice is smokey Islay whisky,

I think most American beer drinkers aren't as discerning as you are. I've been to many local breweries, and most of the time what they produce is excellent.

I support local microbrews wheverever I travel in the US. Im not about to start supporting exotic beers now.

 

[Dogmaphobe]

I have excellent brew pubs within walking distance of my house.

If I actually walked to them, I might actually burn off some of the calories.

Drink Mead.

Mead is often made with local honey and tastes exquisite. Some have called it, "The Drink of the Gods".

I've never had mead. It's pretty strong isn't it?

It can be. Ranges from 9 to 16%. But those who know how, can make a drink that is phenomenal in taste without being so overpowering that you get shitfaced on a single glass.
