    Kick ass!

    I'd drink some of that just to get to handle that pack of four large ...

    At the end of the day, it ALL gets poured into another glass for me, therefore I voted 22 oz. because even though I absolutely hate the price point of most bombers, I still enjoy sitting down with a (usually) new bomber of beer for 45 minutes or so -- and I may only buy one every two weeks, so it adds to the rarity of the occasion if that makes any sense.

    Your cans are my favorite but for the purpose of this thread, I'll go with the heritage.

    Corked 750's for anything special.
    1/2L Euro bottles for everything else.

    I don't know the name of the bottle style but the "shoulderless" 12 oz bottles used by Boulevard are quite pleasing to my eye.

    Another suggestion for 16.9oz bottles brought you to by Urban Chestnut because they use these things for damn near everything they make, and it's a lot closer than Wisconsin.

    I like the 16oz ones as they fit perfectly in a normal pint (size) glass. No need for a side car unlike a 22oz or bigger, nor is it not enough like a 12oz. I do enjoy the "grenade" style Coors bottles (the "classic" ones that they are using lately" as they are different but again, 16oz is perfect for me.

    750ml all the way!

    Cheers!

    Pints! ( &/or 500ml bottles ). Perfect amount for low to mid ABV beers ( or sharing a high gravity one). Also, the best for bottling my home brew, especially swing top styles . Other than that, I prefer cans for outdoor activities.

    500ml is without doubt my favorite format, although I do have a real soft spot for the occasional 750ml with cork and cage.

    12 oz long neck. 750ml corked and caged are cool as well

    Heritage style. Lets me fit an extra shelf into the beer fridge. Ditto on the cans, though most cans we buy are Surly 16 oz.

    I voted 12 oz. I drink more than 12 oz at a sitting, but I prefer the option to rest in between. The stubbie bottles are great! Childhood memories. A few still use them. Oh the teenage years and bootleggers! Cheers folks!!

    The 16 oz. can is my favorite format but I do love the Sixpoint cans and curious as to why a brewery who has the coolest cans on the market is polling beer drinkers about favorite bottle formats?

    Grolsch-style swing-top bottles: great to reuse for homebrewing.

    Otherwise 12oz because it allows me to enjoy one portion without worrying about consuming the rest within a fixed amount of time, generally comes in packs of 4 or 6, and is priced way better than large format bottles.
