    Check out the pic in post #11. Unless RR has changed their tray, it's 'only' 18 beers. When I was there a few years ago, they has two other extra beers that they sat onto the tray in the middle of the other beers, so they can 'expand' if needed.

    I remember it being huge but could not remember how many glasses were on the full taster tray anymore - it has been years (and a couple of kids) since I visited.

    I’m usually good with 4-6 beer samples at 3-5 oz each. My favorite is half a dozen samples. Hence my username.

    The way my taste buds and sense of smell work there is a carry-over effect from one beer to the next such that flavors of the first beer have an influence on the flavors of the second beer, especially if the focus of the first beer is on the hops and second is not hop focused.

    Bottom line I don't do flights. I'm cheap and hate wasting money just to sample for the sake of sampling.

    4oz pours preferred to 5oz as I’m mostly drinking alone at a brewery / bar. Any place that doesn’t let you do single pours of a 4 oz or 5 oz size is a complete travesty. Just about every good establishment I find allows this.

    For those commenting you can’t accurately judge a beer off 4oz’s, I would say get a better palate. It’s very easy. Much less than that is sufficient. I have never once in my life taken 2 sips of a beer and thought of what I’d rate it in my head and then later after drinking more moved that rating by more than +/-0.25. The old school belief you need to kill your liver drinking multiple pints of a single beer to judge it is absurd.

    Its been a couple of years, but I don't recall it being a fixed number. It's a sample pour of every beer that happens to be on draught on the day of visit. I'd have to dig for my photo the last time I ordered the sampler flight, but IIRC it was 20 beers that day.

    Lots of shrugs then.

    What if, some smoll brewery put in 40 1bbl tanks, and only sold taster trays?
