Good beer comes in... well, all packages.
The Beer Institute just released its latest packaging mix data, and aluminum cans remain supreme. But there's another trend worth watching: draft beer posted the largest increase in share.
See the latest data: https://www.beerinstitute.org/data-economic/packaging-mix/
How do you prefer your beer: can, bottle or on draft?

We're pouring some Cape May IPA today!
The Beer Institute was excited to host Cape May Brewery in our offices today and yesterday. Pictured here are Cape May co-founder and CEO Ryan Krill and his father, co-founder Bob Krill, enjoying a pint at the BI Bar. They started the brewery in 2011 alongside Ryan’s college roommate, Chris Henke.
Thanks for helping bring a little bit of summer Shore energy to Washington, D.C.!
