Distiller James Lester has grown used to the on-again, off-again chaos of the trade war, but he’s now grappling with a new kind of treatment — being shut out of the U.S. market altogether.
“It’s a little sad, to be honest,” said Lester, founder and operator of B.C.-based distillery Sons of Vancouver.
As of Tuesday at 12:01 a.m. ET, U.S. bans are in effect on some Canadian alcohol products, dairy byproducts, motorcycles and molasses, shutting certain producers out of the U.S. market entirely.
