Ideal Format for Buying Beer

I love Interboro's 8oz cans of their bourbon barrel Ambassador stout and am enjoying one as I write this.

 

Cans. Either 12 oz six-packs or 16 oz four/six-packs. Either is fine, as long as it's cans.
I don't mind bottles for high-abv malty styles or sours, but I prefer cans for nearly everything.

 

I drink mostly higher ABV Belgians so 12 oz is ideal.

 

A am amazed to read how many variations in bottle sizes there are. In the Netherlands and Belgium, bottles are almost always 300 ml. In Germany they have 300ml and 500ml. I prefer to 500ml, half liter, for pilsner beer but the smaller bottles for beer with higher ABV.

 

Traditional 12oz six pack bottles.

 

Just throw everything in 16oz cans. With the only exceptions being sours and saison which can stay in glass bottle 12oz-750ml.

 

My Dr. and my wife have both suggested that I cut my intake of beer to two a day. So I'm in favor of 22oz bomber or 750ml bottles.

 

12oz usually works the best for me, bottles or cans (the latter if I have a choice, both for ease of transport, no light exposure, etc.), though smaller beers (5%-6% and under) I'm cool with pints. I think pint cans, as a whole, are fairly overrated -- I personally don't need a pint of 8.5% DIPA, but that's just me.

I'd love to see breweries go to 8-10oz sizing for barrel-aged stuff. 12oz is fine, 8-10oz ideal.

 

12 pk cans of ipa. 32 oz. Growlers of special releases. 6pk bottles of stout.

 

Best format for buying is a case of beer. Best price per oz..

 

Currently the formats I buy the most of are 4(16oz) cans, 750ml Swing-top growlers, and recently the 6(12oz) cans from HF. When I buy something from a store (CBC or the like) I usually grab singles of 16oz. cans (less and less often as time goes by).

 

Call me old school but I still prefer 6 packs of 12oz beer (don't really care if it's canned or bottled though)

 

Definitely not 22 oz. bottles. Just about all I buy anymore are four packs of 16 oz. cans. I drink one can from each four pack then am left with roughly 20 single cans. So weird. Averaging around 5 four packs a week of different brews. Alvarado, Moonraker, Henhouse, New Glory, Mikkeller, Revision, Brouwerij West, Hop Dogma, Beachwood, Modern Times, Pizza Port are my usuals.

 

Not that this is really appropriate for this discussion, but all my homebrewed beer goes into 1L swingtops. Since they're all NEIPAs these days, I think that it's the perfect format for them.

 

12ozdraft>12oz cans> 12oz bottles>everything else. The 22oz format is dieing the death it deserves, now onto 16oz cans......

 

4 pack 12oz cans or bottles

 

Most of mine (750ml Swingtops) are from fills at a brewery of IPA/DIPA. Perfect size for my wife and I to share. I put my homebrew in kegs, and will fill growlers to bring to friends once in a while.

 

I like a good sixer. 6 12 oz cans or bottles.

 

Cans for session beers, adjuncts and light lagers. 12 oz bottles for the rest, unless it's unavailable in that size.
Preferably 12+ for the cans, and sixers for the bottles - unless it's a variety pack.

 

Any format works, so long as it is good. I enjoy 12oz cans just out of tradition but honestly I don't care a whole lot if 12, 16, glass/can etc.
