The iconic green bottles of Moshed crush the compartment competition as the latest casualties

First we said goodbye Dear stabiAnd now, Canadians are also sending one to a long -necked glass beer bottles.

This week, Moshed Bruis, the largest especially Canadian -owned liquor bothery in the country announced This will stop selling beer in bottles completely at the beginning of next year,

“We are following the leads set by Canadian people that the cans are not only their favorite way of enjoying our beer – but every beer in the whole industry,” said it in an Instagram post.

This news was completed, some, some but with good cheers.

“You still have time to remove it,” a person wrote in response. After this messages were given to others who seemed to agree:

“It tastes better in a bottle.”

“I can’t create canned beer. This decision needs to be strongly reconsidered.”

And just: “Boooooo.”

So why eat the bottle?

“We understand and respect CBC News, and CEO Andrew Olland, President of Mosehed Bruis and CEO, respects that consumers have a priority, and those who enjoy drinking beer from a bottle, we know that this news is upset.”

The thing is that, Mosshead is a point. More and more canadians are buying beer in compartment.

According to beer Canada, a National Trade Association, a National Trade Association representing Canadian brooers of all sizes and regions, has been received by a very distant bottles in the sales of the compartment, which in 2015 has increased from 53 percent to 2024 of sales to 77 percent.

But is it that coaches are those who want to drink Canadian beer – or this is because more brothers are in favor of the box?

Bottles Beat cans, beer Somelier says

“I don’t believe this consumer is operated,” said Master Beer Somelier Roger Mitag. “We buy which is available for us.”

Ontario-based beer educators, who recommend brothers and restaurants and made prudi’s beer certification-one beer and made a beer olear program-agree with people who say that beer just tastes better in bottles.

“The bottles provide a Trueer experience based on a brumor, as the bottle keeps everything really good and clean.”

A large part of this is to do it with carbonation. It is slightly less in canned beer, says Mitag, as compartments are packed compared to bottles.

“You can eliminate most oxygen in a bottle and place most of this CO2,” he said. “But sometimes with a compartment, it takes a little longer to apply the seal, and therefore, the co2 goes out and the oxygen gets inside. So for me, I think you get a cleaner taste from a bottle, as much as you do out of a can.”

But the soil says that the average drinker cannot see the difference.

In addition, it is easy for retailers to move, stack and shelve the compartment, they say, and they do not break, so the store is less messed up. The compartments provide more opportunities for creative packaging and are cheap for both alcoholics and vendors.

“You can do a pack perhaps two to three times faster rapidly as you can bottles,” Mitag said. “And this requires fewer people, so this is a much more cost -effective way of packaging beer.”

According to the mousd’s Olland, it also improves on the shelf.

He said, “When it comes to protection from light and oxygen, coaches provide better quality – two elements that negatively affect the taste of beer,” he said.

Environmental views

But what about environmental costs?

While reusable glass bottles are generally reflected 12–15 times before recycled, aluminum compartments are recycled only after one use.

Some environmentalists say that it is important to consider the entire life cycle of the product.

A research center located in Quebec called Ciraig A life-cycle analysisAccording to the Julie-Christine Dencort, a source of the Montreal-based équiterre, the bottles can be compared to the compartment and found that the bottles are found to be more environmentally friendly than only six uses after six uses.

“And we know that bottles are reused 15 times on an average.”

She says that you need to take into account energy and resources to recycle a can, which involves transporting the compartment to the recycling feature, which often means to travel long distances by trucks.

Tariff pain

And there is another lumping dent in Can Business – Tariff.

In June, US President Donald Trump Steel and aluminum double tariffs up to 50 percent,

Beer Canadian President CJ Haley said, “This is the biggest economic pressure point that is overwhelming the Canadian brooers if the current trade deformities are not addressed very quickly,” said CJ Haley, president of the beer Canada.

Canada is a major aluminum manufacturer. But to become a beer in Canada for aluminum, it should be sent to the US, where rolling mills have turned it into thin, flat sheets that are then to be sent back to the manufacturers.

According to Haley, tariffs and resulting uncertainty have increased the base cost of aluminum to about 200 percent.

“This is a little bit like a fear response,” he said. “People are afraid of uncertainty where 50 percent of import duty surrounding can go in future.”

Inventory stockpiles means that consumers have not yet seen an increase in the price for their beer, saying Haley.

“But the cost may increase, we started looking into the market in August,” he said. “And then if the cost of 200 percent increases itself for an extended period, it’s fine, eventually it is going to flow into the market.”

The possibility of bottles will not completely disappear

Haley hopes that this will not happen. But they do not think bottled beer will completely disappear from Canadian shelves.

He said, “The Canadian beer industry during the day was actually established on the advantage of the concept and refillable beer bottle,” he said.

With the advent of cool graphics on the compartment, however – which are on the consumer side – and gives freedom compartments to the brothers in terms of design and efficiency, they think that can live here.

Beer Somelier, Mattag, says that he will be sad to see the prestigious green bottle of Moshead.

“This is a part of the cloth of Canada and to understand what the mosshead is,” he said.

“I think why, but I almost feel that we have lost a small part of the fabric that makes this beer industry.”
