    Episode 1 | The Price Behind the Pour: How Tariffs Cost Craft Beer

    In this episode of the Greater Arvada Chamber’s Arvada Business Today podcast, we sit down with Chris Hill, Chief Beer Peddler at Odyssey Beerwerks, to explore the hidden costs behind your favorite pint and what global trade policy has to do with it.  This 21-minute conversation breaks down how tariffs on imported brewing ingredients are quietly reshaping the economics of craft breweries and other small businesses. While customers may not see these pressures at the taproom, they affect everything from ingredient sourcing to profit margins and pricing decisions. Chris shares how Odyssey has navigated rising costs tied to Canadian imports, why revenue growth doesn’t always mean stronger profitability, and what it takes to hold the line on prices in a competitive and community-centered industry. The episode also offers practical lessons for business leaders managing supply chain volatility and policy-driven cost increases beyond their control.
