    Central Ohio is home to more than 40 craft breweries, and many of them can their own beer.

If you put beer in cans your beer is bad and you should feel bad.

    Seventh Son Brewing, like many local breweries, gets its cans from outside the country. Seventh Son co-founder Collin Castore says local breweries using aluminum cans can only get them from outside the U.S. because no stateside manufacturers make the type of cans they need.

IF YOU CAN'T BUY BEER CANS IN THE UNITED STATES YOU NEED TO FUCK OFF YOU HIPSTER FUCKWITS.

    Castore says even though the tariffs only increased prices by about a penny a can, those pennies add up.

No, they don't. They add up to a penny per can. That's six cents per six pack. For imported off-shore Japanese beer cans.

Marc Reisner argued in Cadillac Desert that it wasn't the Atomic Bomb that won WWII for the United States, it was Grand Coulee Dam, which produced so much excess electricity that it allowed not just the massive production of aluminum in Portland, Seattle and Blaine (and massively consumptive electromagnetic uranium refining at Hanford). It's not like American beer cans are unavailable.
