In Reply To #1 Eh, aluminum doesn't give any flavors to the beer, since it's coated in a thin layer of vinyl that lends absolutely no flavor the the beer. I would be surprised if this was a resolution for paying a bill, as the initial cost to start bottling in aluminum was probably pretty pricey. That said, I think it's a gimmick. They claim it will be popular with campers and beach goers who can't have glass on the beach, but they also have cans, don't they? So lets examine the motive a little better.
