    I set this one up as a poll.

    I have been a big fan of the 16 oz can and 16.9 oz (half liter) bottles lately. It just seems like it is the perfect amount for me. I also seem to like beer right out of the can in that format, dale's deviant and heady topper are awesome examples of that size. Hopefully fat heads decides to use 16 oz cans for head hunter!

    After the 16 oz format, I prefer 12 oz cans/bottles, 22's and 750's. What do you think?

    I know I was freaked out when I saw the Sixpoint Resin can. looked like a Red Bull can. I like uncorking 750s, so ill go with either 750 mL or 375 mL.

    Definitely forgot about the 375 C&C, too bad I can't edit the poll real quick.

    12 ounce bottles for sure, death to bombers and 750's.

    This was a tough one for me, I voted for the 500mL (16.9oz) bottle but I like 12oz bottles/cans just about as much.

    12 ounce bottles don't have a chance to get warm in my possession.

    750. Best to get a decent share with the wife with 1 bottle.

    My favorite is 375s, but 12oz bottles is close enough.

    I don't have any sort of preference as long as it's not those 7 oz nips or giant 3L and 6L type bottles.

    12 oz can. Love cans, love 12 oz. 12 oz bottles second, then pounders, then large format stuff.

    I wish more big beers came in 7 oz bottles, too.

    12 oz is probably my favorite format.

    I really enjoy 16.9 oz bottles as well. It's a good amount when bought in single bottle format, and not too far of a shot from a sixer when in 4 pack format. If I owned a brewery I'd go with 16.9 oz bottling for that reason.

    For me the 12 ounce format is ideal when I'm the only one having a beer. If I'm splitting something I prefer a bomber or a 750ml.
