Driving Factor

Glass bottles preserve the flavor character and carbonation of the beer best compared to any other packaging medium and are thus ideal for specialty beers such as chocolate beer. Packaged beers owe their popularity to hand-crafted brewing and genuineness, especially among novel or flavored varieties. Also, breweries opt for glass since it is environmentally friendly, recyclable, and can be used to impart aesthetically pleasing labeling, making a product visually more attractive on supermarket shelves.

Restraining Factor 

Inflation, the price of cocoa, and rising supply costs are the main causes of chocolate beer's high price. Customers are using cost-cutting strategies as a result of inflation and rising living expenses.
