    (f) None of the above:
    Bring back the US Steinie
    (and stop MillerCoors from incorrectly identifying their Miller Lite "Select" bottle as a "Steinie" :grimacing:).

    Second choice - as noted above, the Stubby.​

    I never buy bottles, and am extremely selective in the cans I buy, too -- limiting myself only to narrow, easy-gripping, Red Bull-style cans, and nothing else!:wink:

    Definitely prefer 12oz to the larger formats. I think the stubby bottles look cooler, but the longnecks are easier to squeeze into the fridge door.

    I'm weird maybe but any brew that comes in a bottle I always pour into a glass so the bottle doesn't matter to me. With that said my preference is a 16oz can. Stouts are fine in a bottle but IPA's or DIPA's are much better in a tall boy can. Just MO

    Heritage style 12 oz. More portable, and user friendly.

    I voted long neck, but heritage is just as good.

    Voted 12oz heritage/ but longneck would have been a tie. Cans are my personal favorite though (not just because the OP is from Six point )

    longnecks look good, but after spending a few years abroad i really have developed a fondness for the half liter 16.9 oz bottle.

    @Sixpoint if your bottling something soon please use the .5 liter bottle. i think its cool for limited release stuff

    I'm a sucker for the Bombers. I try to show as many of the more interesting ones in my basement.

    500 ml / 16.9 oz. The perfect amount of beer! With one exception, 11% barrel aged stout, what is BC thinking???

    The squatty Heritage style bottles just fit in my fridge a little better. Beyond that, I have no preference as they all get poured into a glass anyway.

    I prefer cans over anything. They allow no light to reach the beer and are the easiest to organize in the fridge. The 12oz. heritage bottles are my preferred glass container. I like 12 oz. size in most all situations and the shorter height is better for my beer fridge.

    Ditto for me. I reserve one fridge door shelf for my beer and I can fit more of the narrower longneck bottles.

    Coincidentally, @Sixpoint's 12-oz tall cans are even easier to pack into my fridge door [and travel coolers]! For that reason and other well-known advantages to cans, I prefer them to any bottle option. I would also be on board with the silo can Sixpoint market-tested about a year ago.

    I was going to answer "12 oz. can", but you're on to something here.

    four-packs of 16/16.9 oz. cans ... everywhere

    four-packs of 16/16.9 oz. bottles ... no where

    I'd love a four-pack of pints. Or imperial pints. I still prefer the 12 oz. can to all other vessels, but if we *have* to have bottles, give me a pint.
