Looks the part, but the middle's still raw. Chew with caution.
Summary
Minnesota-based Phillips Distilling Company is moving production of its Sour Puss liquor to Canada after losing 70% of its Canadian business due to retaliatory tariffs. Most Canadian provinces pulled US liquor from shelves starting March 2025 in response to Donald Trump's tariffs. CEO Andy England said the company began considering moving production within weeks of the tariffs being implemented. The company has now found a way to sell its products in Canada again by shifting production north of the border.
