Dan Katt opened his beer company, Good City Brewing, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin in 2016. At the time, it was a presidential election year. He did not think about the possibility of a trade dispute between President Donald Trump’s administration and China. “I don’t think we even contemplated that that administration would exist,” he told VOA. He also did not consider that his decision to put the alcoholic drink in cans instead of bottles would make his business success more difficult. “We always planned to can our products. I don’t think we necessarily expected to have probably our single, biggest expense, packaging materials, be directly impacted by tariffs.” Katt’s cans are made of the metal aluminum. He says much of his supply comes from China which faces a 10 percent tariff on aluminum products. Katt said his company usually buys 215,000 cans at a time. He said he expects to pay higher prices for cans the next time he has to order them.
