What's your preferred serving size for one beer?

A pint, by definition, is 16oz. Nothing "typical" or extreme about that

My personal favorite is the 12oz pour. Just the right size for someone, like me, who rarely drinks 2 of the same in a row.

 

Imperial pint without any doubt.

 

Really depends on the strength of beer and if I'm drinking it with a meal or just drinking.

Drinking non loopy juice - imperial pint
Eating with non loopy juice -12oz
Drinking or eating with loopy juice -half imperial pint

 

100% depends on the ABV of the beer. An 8oz. of a huge BA stout, a 12 oz. of a moderately strong stout or barleywine, 16 oz. of moderate IPA. With a meal, probably a pint of moderate ABV beer. I did not enter a choice in the survey since it is an odd question that can't be answered in that format.

 

the same as you 400 ml

 

I like 12 oz for just about any beer,

 

I voted 16. 12 is a super close 2nd tho.

 

Gimme a pint, barkeep!

 

I often drink 32oz growlers and crowlers, and since my favorite glass is 16oz, I'll drink them in two 16oz glass-fulls. If I am at a taproom and having to drive, I'll only go with 16+ if the beer is 6% ABV or less. For higher ABV, most taprooms around here serve up 9 to 12oz doses. In college I drank BMC directly from 64oz pitchers, but many of us did stupid shit back then.

 

If a beer isn't as interesting to me after 16 oz as when I started, I tend to have no use for it.

 

For me, 12 oz is perfect for most beers. Sometimes I'll go with an 8 oz glass if it's a really potent beer. I'm generally not a big fan of the 16 oz pours.

 

Depends on the style and strength of the beer. If it has a wine level ABV then I don't want more than a wine size portion.

 

Clearly no Germans were consulted for the poll options.

 

I want a pint and if I am out I want another small top off. So that;'s an imperial pint?

 

Anything larger than 500ml makes me anxious as I start thinking I am missing out on some other beer.

 

I'm guessing that's why he put "pint" in quotation marks. At least around here it's not unusual for places to offer "pints" that come in shaker glasses that are decidedly not 16 ounces. So "pint" seems to have taken on something of a colloquial usage as just a synonym for "glass".

Again, around here anyway.

 

A pint for basically anything 7% and under. 8% and up I'd prefer smaller pour.

 

Too true. Maybe I should have also included 500ml in my response .
