I was speaking to the brewmaster at local brewery recently and he mentioned to me that a number of craft brewers here in Canada are considering canning their product as opposed to bottling. It has some advantages over bottling in that it's apparently cheaper to do and the recycling process is easier. Not to mention that it prevents any light from getting to the beer, I imagine.
He said what's preventing any real push to doing it is that there's a perception amongst the consumer that beer in a can represents an inferior product. This is certainly true here in Canada as most of our generic light lagers come this way, and I assume this holds true for the US as well.
Is anybody else seeing craft brewers canning their product recently, where they had been in bottles?
