What's your preferred serving size for one beer?

12 to 16 oz, depending on the beer, my mood, and the weather.

 

Pints a pound

 

I pretty much drink IPA's and DIPA's, stouts and BA stouts
IPA's & DIPA's 10-12 oz (usually put a plastic baggy and a rubber band over the 16oz can and finish about an hour later)
Stouts and BA stouts prefer about 3-5 oz

I got a uKeg recently and bought 100 co2 cartridges so I can stretch out a Stout over a week or two, pretty awesome having 3-5 oz of a stout every day or two for 1-2 weeks rather than saving it for a special occasion which never seems to happen.

 

I chose 10 oz and below. I'm what they say, "antojado" in Spanish. I roll into town, and I want to sample EVERYTHANG! So give me a GOOD sample size so I can get a good feel for the beer.

 

Goddamn those ladies are STRONG!

 

I'm with him!

 

If everything came in 7-ounce bottles and cans, I'd be as happy as a pig in a mudhole. My second choice would be 12-ounce (brown) bottles. #neverbombers

 

16oz, especially for big stouts. Sometimes 12oz doesn't feel like enough and a bomber is too big.

 

14 ounce tulip or teku poured 3/4th's of the way.

 

Y'all keep asking this, I keep posting the answer. QUARTS.

 

That is a damned problem, especially in my neighborhood!

 

I have no numeric preference. Damn. Every situation is different. In Munich I likely wouldn't order a pint, but in England I surely would.

 

12 oz is perfect for most styles, I prefer to mix it up in my drinking sessions and a bigger pour means less beers tried.

 

I feel scammed by any quantity less than a half liter or about 16 ounces. Regardless of style, or ABV.

 

I just love the 16 ounce pounder can. Perfect amount and vessel.

 

22oz if at home and pouring from a bottle or 16oz glass if out somewhere. If I'm at home I know I'm probably only sticking to one kind of beer for the night, if I'm out I may want to try a few different kinds depending on the menu.

 

Ever drink a Liter of Beer at an Oktoberfest?

It gets warm before you can finish it.

 

Ok guys, you need to take this apart piece by piece:

10oz - Way too little to really dive into any beer. I've had pints that I haven't gotten a true grasp on until 3/4 of the way through, so that's out

11oz - Nobody serves those

12oz - Though more common, 12oz servings of beers make me feel there was a little something missing by the time I reach the end of the glass, especially if I really love the beer. Still not enough

13oz- It's really just the same as a 12.7 oz bottle. A respectable serving size even with higher octane beers. Having multiples makes things interesting with higher ABVs though

14oz - Now things get tricky. Higher ABV as you approach pint size just starts getting dangerous but I still feel a low ABV lager has its place higher in spectrum. Yet the OP is stating trying multiple things is a factor.

15oz - Almost a pint but you're never going to try 3-5 different pours of this size of any beer without becoming somewhat inebriated. Also out.

16oz - The standard unit of measure of beer on the planet. Just up the road from me, I was served a 10% Russian Imperial Stout in a pint. Did I think that was the proper serving size? No. Did I send it back? Hell no. I drank it. Still, I would not want that on a regular basis and even sometimes at the end of imperial pints (20oz) of delicious lagers, I still feel like it can be a chore.

17oz- Again, never seen it.

So I guess my answer is probably 14oz. Just enough to get into a quaffable style and not too much that I can't finish it regardless of style/ABV. Plus I can try more than one in a setting and not be worried about getting too shnockered

 

It depends on abv and style, but realistically, if I had to pick one serving size--I like 12 oz. It's a good portion size.
