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?

Recycling was/is a failed experiment. Recycling is not cost effective in any way, and recycling plastics is worse for the environment than virgin plastic.
Glass is by far more environmentally friendly, colored glass (color dependent) helps protect the beer from sun/uv/science stuff. Glass is inert, metal is not.
