Maine beer prices likely to rise from Trump’s aluminum tariffs, brewers warn

BANGOR DAILY NEWS • February 14, 2025

Mainers should expect to pay more for local craft beer if aluminum tariffs take effect next month, brewers and industry officials warn. President Donald Trump signed executive orders Monday that impose 25 percent tariffs on imported steel and aluminum. Most of the aluminum used in Maine comes from Canada, including the metal used for beer cans.
