Verhofstadt correct once again. (Privatisation was still a mistake though)
The rest of the world should build a wall between them and the US, and make the US pay for it.
Tariffs are a punishment for the poor. If he announced to ban European alcohol, then it would be interesting.
We would have to sell our awesome beer elsewhere?
Americans get to drink home-brewed piss.
Also someone should really tell him Europe is not a country.
He’ll fold like one of his cheap suits the second EU retaliates.
Just don’t give him what he wants and he backs down like the cuck he is.
I think we export a lot of beer.. I’ll have to drink some more I guess..
More for us!
i dont know, with a majority of board members of ab inbev being american nationals im sure they have the best interest of our belgian culture and people in mind when moving all production of our centuries old local traditions to the united states when it comes to it.
soms more taxes on tesla, and Mr Orange will be told to stop this.
Seems pointless, the American who buy decent booze have houses in Europe and just ship it privately. At the other hand champagne is status and making it more expensive adds to the status.
“champagne” businesses in the U.S.
Brilliant. Cheaper champagne for us, due to a decreased global demand.
It’s fine, we’ll just drink it ourselves! Happy Fridays coming up
Ill single-handedly drink all the belgian beer myself then..
Aren’t most Belgian beers in the USA actually Inbev?
If the EU wants to respond by putting a massive tariff on US beers, I don’t think many Europeans would cry.
I mean who cares, Most belgians don’t drink american produced liquor to my knowledge.
They can keep their “Bud Light” and Seltzers
According to Forbes: We export about $3.3bn worth of beer to the US.
ABinBev brews locally in the US so tariffs won’t even matter for them. It’s the craft beers that will be hit the most but I doubt there will be any real impact.
I’d imagine it’s only premium/speciality beers that get shipped over… the likes of Stella are brewed over there already.
€5/l in the shops is normal for interesting beers, you can expect the retail chain, taxes etc takes 70% of that so one litre in little bottles is likely €1.50 wholesale. So it’s a total value of only €3.3mil/month.
I doubt though that taxes will reduce sales though. It’s a premium product and Americans are already paying $8/bottle for Orval. €3 extra won’t sway aficionados…
300% tariffs on Budweiser and Heineken exports to the US.
Edit: Also Corona so we hit 3/5 of the top selling beers in the US.
Typically the people that actually specifically drink European drinks are the people that wouldn’t care if the price of a bottle is 60 $ or 180 $.
Most ‘normal’ people in USA probably don’t drink it (daily)
Joepiejee word al verkocht in China. Die markt daar wat vergroten? Laat ze hun bud maar houden
I don’t think it would affect us very much.
It will affect the Americans who love importing our drinks, yes.
We will just keep exporting to China some of that Artois and stuff…. Plenty of business anywhere else.
Would be better more overstock so price will go down in EU? Cant drink alcohol myself cause of medical condition.
Dat gaat echt pain doen
What are these insane percentages. Why not just ban import at that point.
1 duvel bestellen op café in de Usa = 16 euro !
Import brands are considered a luxery in the US. If you can pay for it now, you can pay for the 200% levy.
This is because the Bourbon industry in Kentucky is dying because of the Canadian boycot and EU levies. It’s hurting him and that’s great

Beer isn’t alcohol.
Jokes apart, another threat without knowing how much, %, on which product, when, which country, etc.
Orange man is barking
