I was talking with my beertender the other day at my local taphouse/bottle shop. I asked why 22oz glass bombers are so hard to find any more. Especially dark lagers, stouts, high-octane barleywines, and barrel-aged limited runs. His answer was that cans just make more sense because they are more efficient to package and ship.

I guess that makes sense, my local grocery store and most of the bottle shops around me actually only sell cans or 12 oz bottle sixers. I used to find cool bombers all the time to add to my collection and share with a friend. A couple of the local craft breweries still sell barrel-aged limited run bombers but only from their taproom. Nothing gets distributed.

Is my beertender right? Are bombers dying out?
