The smartest thing any brewery can (sorry) do is move to canning. It's better for the beer, transport costs, recycling (if your consumers aren't idiots) and great for expanding your brand. The transportability alone, for instance, can increase sales to buyers looking for lightweight (car free shoppers, campers) and especially out of region business. The ability to bring back beer (with dubious legality) in my checked luggage has allowed me to enjoy and share beers not available in Ontario.

Bottles will likely live on for limited editions, but it would be nice if that changed to. The only losers will be those who like collecting labels. Perhaps paper labels on cans?

Don't even get me started on the stupidity of corks v.s. screw tops...
Brands are for cattle.
