Phillips Distilling (PDC) Moves Production to Canada Amid Trade Issues

Phillips Distilling Company (PDC) experienced a 70% drop in its Canadian business due to a boycott of American-made liquor resulting from U.S. tariffs. In response, the company shifted some production to Canada for the first time, enabling the resumption of sales across the country. CEO Andy England stated that they have managed to convince Canadian provinces to accept their products again. As of May 2026, only Alberta and Saskatchewan still sell American alcohol, posing challenges for U.S. liquor producers amidst ongoing trade negotiations.
