    I haven't seen this specific question addressed here, but was wondering what anyone's opinion is about using a 9.75 oz brandy snifter for an all around taster. I would think it would be fine for IPA's and strong ales and stouts, but why not lagers? Those 5 oz glasses are too small IMO. Thanks folks?

    I use a 9 oz. snifter for just about everything. The only thing it might take away from a lager is its appearance (read: clarity), if you're really into that sort of thing, but I tend to think all beers look delicious.

    Thank you for the reply. I was also looking at a half pint pub glass, but I really don't want (read wife)another cupboard full of glasses! I already have a nice selection of full size pints, tulips, pilsners, but am scaling back on beer for awhile to lose some weight, so I am steering toward sample quanities. Cheers!
