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?

Glass is very easy to recycle but in single-stream recycling glass has a high chance to shatter and potentially contaminate other recycling materials like plastic or aluminum.
Glass is more expensive to produce and ship, but is inert and retains gas better.
Customers pretty universally perceive glass containers as being more pleasant, and as higher end looking.
