7oz nips and/or 40oz bombers.......?

Neither, ones too small,the others too large. 16 oz cans are really perfect.

 

I'm pretty content with the current bottle/can sizes (12 oz, pint, etc). I might be going against the majority here, but I even like bombers. But agreed with @nc41 that one's too small and one's too big.

 

Pony bottles are great in the summer if you like your beer real nice and cold!

 

12 oz for >6%, 16 oz for <6%.

 

ISO: 40 of bcbcs

 

If I were choosing between the two, I would go for the 7 ounce bottle. Rogue uses these for a few of their beers, but I think this would be ideal for high ABV beers where even 12 ounces would be rocking the boat.

A 40 ounce bottle would make a fun novelty item, but I don't see much practicality when smaller bottle sizes are available.

 

I'd be down for 7oz bottles of some beers if the price per ounce wasn't extravagant. A good way to try a few different brews when you're chillin alone but don't wanna stumble around all night lol...

 

I guess it would depend on if they would ridiculously overcharge like they do with bombers. I wouldn't mind seeing 7 ouncers

 

Lagunitas Sucks in the 32's are pretty close, and they totally ROCK! But I remain a bit miffed that Primus still isn't doing the commercials for this beer.

 

I actually love the 7 ounce idea. I like to buy a bunch of singles of new beers and, if I like them, buy more to explore more thoroughly. I would love to get 20 different beers in 7 ounce bottles rather than 12 different beers in 12 ounce bottles for the same price as I think the 7 ounces would serve the "sampling" purpose in this process and I'd get way more variety.

Most bombers are too much for me, so I don't think I'd like a 40 ounce, unless it's a special occasion or if I'm playing Edward 40 Hands with Black Tuesday.

 

I'd like to see a smaller size for some beers, but mostly that'd be something smaller than a bomber for beers you don't want to drink a lot of that are only sold in bombers. I don't think we really need new sizes. What would I do with a 40 oz bomber, anyway?

 

Didn't Dogfish Head do one of their beers is a 40oz a while back? Included a brown paper bag, IIRC.

 

When I find a 32 oz. growler to be too much for most high ABV beers, the idea of a 40 seems less attractive by far. 7 oz. is fine as far as it goes, but color me suspicious that the cost per oz. will be even worse.

So neither.

 

I grew up on Rolling Rock Ponys. They chilled fast went down smooth, but it was Rolling Rock. I don't want a 7 oz HT, or a 7 oz Bcbs. I don't want a 40 of either, that's for crap beer like King Cobra. Jesus what would a 40 oz Bcbs cost.

 

tiny glasses means I can try more beers w/o getting soused. Torst does that, and I think it's awesome.

 

8 packs of ponys would be great for beers that have a high abv . 40's aka G.I.Q.s have been around forever in the non craft market but seem to be on the decline . If I had to choose between the 2 I'd go for the 7 oz.

 

Eek. That wouldn't end well. Even for me at over 250, I'd be hurtin'.

 

The 7 ounce nip will cost almost the same as the 12 ouncer so I'm not interested. The 40 ounce bomber would be a good size for sharing, or to hold you while watching a ball game.

 

I like things the way they are
