Craft beer ‘becoming like wine’

(TheDrinksBusiness) - Craft beer is becoming increasingly more like wine, with the traditional 12-ounce bottle being replaced with 75cl wine bottles and even three-litre Jeroboams.
According to The New York Times, a number of new high profile craft breweries are choosing to house their beer only in large-format bottles.
One of the best-known craft breweries in the US, Delaware-based Dogfish Head Brewery, is to dedicate one of its two bottling lines to the 75cl format.
The trend for large bottles within the craft beer sphere is being dubbed “wine-ification”, with the beers boasting the high prices to match.
