Why is beer still sold as glass bottles. Recently my city removed glass from recyclable items and im guessing thats because its harder to recycle then they believed. However. There are some beer thats comes in both can and bottle and 9 times out of 10 its a bottled version. Aluminum must be cheaper right?

It’s really mostly marketing It’s a common customer belief that beer in a bottle is of higher quality. The process for filling then seaming cans used to be more complex and expensive, but there are now boutique companies that build inexpensive can fillers and seamers. Unless your location takes bottle deposits for reuse (not recycling), which is rare, then there’s no advantage a bottle has over a can. They’re cheaper, cheaper to ship because they’re lighter, safer and protect the product better.
