Craft Beer Consumers Prefer Glass For True Taste

The 2016 Mintel Consulting Survey measured consumer preferences on packaging types for beer, drawing on responses from 2000 adults (21-64y) across the USA, who purchased beer off-premises in the past 90 days. According to the survey, glass bottles are a clear favourite over cans. When it comes to taste, 71% of craft beer consumers say glass bottles offer the best tasting beer, compared to 15% who say that about cans, and 14% who have no preference.
