We just might have to wear it on the chin

A person was talking about the added tariff cost on beer. This is a mashup of “wear on (for a period of time)” (to continue for a long period of time) and “take (something) on the chin” (endure a hardship). A big thanks to Jim Kozlowski for hearing this one and sending it in!.
