Georgia brewers say they are stretched thin as the cost to make their products will likely rise under President Donald Trump’s import taxes.

Joseph Cortes is the executive director of the Georgia Craft Brewer’s Guild. He says that breweries faced inflation and supply chain disruptions after the pandemic and now have to deal with “the whiplash of tariffs.”

Cortes says most of the aluminum used in the industry comes from places like Canada, which is now subject to sweeping 25% steel and aluminum tariffs.
