Discussion question for the experts: non-aluminum packaging for beer sale in stores

Canadian here, and once a homebrewer.

This question's inspired by watching the US get ready to levy gigantic tariffs on aluminum to all of their trading partners, with corresponding major impact on aluminum can prices. The cause is political, but the discussion is about successful alternate packaging for beer.

The question is are there safe, cheap, and long-lifetime options to beer cans that could be switched to. Key features would be ability to survive being dropped, low weight (glass is still used a lot but is inconvenient and uses up lots of space), and low manufacturing cost.

There's growlers, kegs, and bottles, but all of them have their own disadvantages.

I'm wondering if, like some types of wine, "beer in a bag" (inside a cardboard box) might be an option, or a tetra-pack.
