The Aluminum Association has been making the case for packaging more beverages in cans, which can be recycled more effectively than plastic or glass bottles. One industry segment that’s solidly on board: craft brewers. Canned beer has long been associated with poor quality. But that reputation is shifting, thanks largely to craft brewers.
