Paul Czachor, ceo, American Keg Co., Pottstown, Pa., told NPR that once the tariffs were announced, “our pricing for the domestic steel started to go up. The difference between an import keg and an American-made keg is greater than it was, say, four months ago or five months ago.”
There’s no tariffs on imported kegs. But because of the tariff on steel – Czachor says American keg is the only company to use 100% American steel – the kegs his company makes cost about $20 more than kegs from China.
