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?

Lots of answers here about why glass is so cheap, but not explaining why soda is almost universally sold in plastic bottles then. I don’t think there’s any difference between beer and soda that would make glass more suited to one and plastic to the other, so I have to guess that beer is usually sold in glass bottles because consumers expect it.
Maybe there’s an implication of quality with glass, and selling beer is more about selling an experience than soda is. Both come in aluminum cans, to be sure, but I feel like a plastic bottle of beer at a bar would feel really cheap.
