    i said 16oz bottle because it's the closest to my favorite.

    i love 16oz cans, from what i've experienced i've only had 16oz cans from Carton Brewing and Bell's Two Hearted. that i can think of

    I don't prefer one style I gets boring after a while so to me it would be cool if they change it for different seasons or different occasions.

    Low ABV European brews in the pint bottles are nice, but give me the 12oz as most versatile for the consumer to have most flexibility and drinking options. Drink a bottle of pilsner yourself, or split 3-4 ways with friends a DFH WWS/Fort/ etc. or Bourbon County. 12oz just works best.

    I voted Heritage style, but honestly I like variety in the stores between brewers. It makes it feel like the brewery's personality is a little different with the various bottle options.

    I like the 16oz bottles, especially when they contain Urban Chestnut brews.

    It all depends on the beer. For what I drink (largely hoppier pale beers), I ultimately prefer a 12 or 16 oz can but if we are talking strictly bottles, then any 12-16oz bottle is fine. I loathe bombers.

    big fan of the bombers, only because it normally means i am drinking something special. otherwise, ill take any 12oz bottle.

    Who's buying?
    750ml is great as a gift.
    If I am buying, 330ml or 12 oz bottles are usually preferred.
    I don't really care about the shape, although I find stubbies a bit unattractive.
