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) glasses of different beers, which may be presented on a dedicated frame or tray.[1] The tray may also be known as a beer stick, or beer paddle.
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.[1][2]
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.[1][3]
A variety of beer flight kits, comprising glasses and a compatible tray, are sold for use at home.[4]
