And the self-denial of a protectionist rears its head: if tariffs do not raise the prices of domestic products (or reduce the profits you fear so much—when the producer does not choose to pass the higher cost of imported hops to the consumer, for example), then how are they supposed to save jobs in the first place?

Tariffs do nothing to stop competition between domestic manufacturers which hold down prices. They still have to compete with each other. Are you mentally challenged? You seem capable of writing a coherent sentence but seem to lack basic ability to reason.
