Best glassware for 16oz pours?

I'm in the exact opposite situation: Most of my glasses are designed to hold a full pint (16 oz/500mL).

The most diverse glasses I have would be a 16 oz tulip or snifter.

 

I love my Duvel tulip for this exact application.

 

I'm going to take the slightly sarcastic route here.

I use a glass which I feel will best showcase the style no matter the liquid capacity. When filling, I leave enough headspace in the glass to collect volatiles. While consuming I may or may not top the glass up...sometimes I'll finish a glass and pour the remainder. There is really no need to stuff a 16 oz. container into a 16 or 20 oz. glass, it's more a matter of knowing when to stop pouring.

Brewmaster George Reisch is famous for saying, "The wine people have been doing this for years." and I'm not about to admit that they may be smarter than us.

 

Very true, I didn't really take that into account when I was commenting. Some of my glassware will hold an entire pint with head space and some will hold 7/8th's of a pint.

 

Can glass gets my vote

 

If I am not "nerding" out and making sure to use proper glassware, I usually grab one of three glasses....New Belgium globe, Duvel/Modern Times tulip, or large snifter (preferred) such as DFH.

 

I agree with @IceAce , if I'm soloing a larger format bottle, I'll grab my favorite glass for the style and fill it up. Depending on the ABV and how long I think I'll be taking to drink it, I may stopper the bottle and put it back in the fridge otherwise I'll just let it sit until I'm ready for more.

 

Many of my favorite tulips will hold a 16 oz. pour.

 

The fill line on the NB globe is .47 L and does leave space for a little over one finger of head.

 

I love my 20 oz. imperial pint glass, it leaves plenty of room for a decent head. I use it for 12 & 16 oz. beers.

 

Duvel Glass, end thread, cased closed, this is the correct answer and all other suggestions are subpar.

 

A good old 'nonic' is my favorite pint glass (imperial pint), though lately, my 1/2 pint nonics get a lot more use.
But in the end , andy glass that doesn't leak is the best pint glass. The fancy glasses are fine for pleasing a personal aesthetic, but they are primarily the result of marketing (adimittedly, some very effective marketing).

 

I'm a huge fan of tulips and stemless wine glasses. 16 oz. pours fit perfectly in most of them.

 

I like the Russian River 20oz brew house tumbler (http://russianriverbrewing.com/pliny-the-elder-20oz-brewhouse-tumbler/). Can hold the whole 16oz can/bottle nicely, and with plenty of room for some foam head.

 

First post here. Are these glasses OK for a starter set to pour bottles into? I've always just been a guy to drink from the bottle, but I'm trying to evolve.

Standard pint glasses are not really ideal, but they work. If I were you I'd look for a set with a tulip, snifter, and seized glass to start. I would also look for a Sam Adams perfect pint, it is extremely versatile and sometimes can be found for $2 each.
