Irish brewer founded by Smithwick's family becomes second to shift operations stateside to escape Trump tariffs
An Irish beer brand revived by Smithwick's has moved most of its brewing to the US in response to the 15pc tariff President Donald Trump has put on EU imports
The decision by Sullivan's Brewing Company, a Kilkenny beer brand co-founded by Dan and Alan Smithwick in 2016, comes as big pharmaceutical and technology companies seek to woo Trump by announcing largescale investments in the US. Earlier this month Apple struck a deal with Trump to invest $600bn (€515bn) in the US over the next four years to foster an 'end-to-end' American chip supply chain.
