Comment on Why would the NA beer industry standardize on a bottle shape that's grotesquely inconvenient, topples with minimal force, and doubles the required volume to ship?

  North America wasn’t even on my radar! I suspect anyone who’s worked in the industry thought non-alcoholic by default.

    I haven’t tried a NA beer in some time, but when I did years ago it was in the same tall bottle that every other commercial beer uses. I honestly thought you meant north America and that other countries have differently shaped bottles (like how Sessions uses small 12oz bottles).

      OP DID mean North America. I’m just a passerby that associated NA with Non Alcoholic. I also associate NR as meaning glass bottles, but I don’t know if that’s industry wide, or a local abbreviation.

      Non alcoholic beers use the same bottles as regular (for the most part, there may be exceptions).

  NA = North American or non-alcoholic?

  NA = Never Ask
