No brewery that I go to uses bottles for distribution. If you are talking about major beer brands, I would like to see some stats.


https://www.beerinstitute.org/trends-beer-packaging/

> Glass bottles compose nearly one-third of all beer volume in the United States and nearly two-thirds of above premium segment volume.

I think the "premium" is what I'm noticing; I kind of ignore all the large packs of aluminum beer cans (though to be honest that's the only beer I have on hand right now).

What I have very rarely seen is plastic beer - only at stadiums where they don't want you throwing the bottle at the players, basically.

Of course, the only proper beer container is a giant keg.
