US: More craft beers sold in cans
Usually higher-priced craft beers, made in small batches for those seeking something outside the mainstream, are available in bottles only. Since a couple of years a growing number of craft beers, is being sold in cans, as brewers look to cut packaging and delivery costs, while finding a place at outdoor parties and other events where cans are preferred to glass bottles. By selling beer in cans, craft brewers reach certain venues - such as golf courses and baseball stadiums - where glass bottles are discouraged, or even banned. Canned beer appeals to drinkers going to outdoor events, like tailgating and picnics.
