Beer flight

A beer flight or beer stick is a method of serving a variety of beers, in relatively small quantities, for tasting.

A typical flight consists of three or more one-third of a pint (or anything from 2-5 ounces) [1] glasses of different beers, which may be presented on a dedicated frame or tray.

A flight may include several beers (say, a pilsner, an IPA and a stout) from one brewery, or the same style but from several breweries, or a combination of both.

[2][3] Beers may be presented—and intended for consumption—in a deliberately chosen order, such as light-to-dark, low-to-high strength or young-to-old.

[2][4] A variety of beer flight kits, comprising glasses and a compatible tray, are sold for use at home.
