When trade soured, this American liquor maker moved to Canada
Phillips Distilling Company, based in Minnesota, has moved some production of its Sour Puss liquor to Canada due to a boycott of American-made alcohol by several Canadian provinces. This decision was prompted by a significant loss of business, as the company reported a 70% drop in Canadian sales following tariffs imposed by the U.S. government. The shift has allowed Phillips to regain access to the Canadian market and resume sales of its products.
