A flight is typically comprised of three to five ounce glasses from the draft beers dispenser which will make up a complete sixteen-ounce beer pint. The cost of these tastings is usually around the price of one full pint.

Each beer in the flight is normally 4 to 5 ounces which means a flight can be anywhere from 16 to 25 total ounces. A flight gives you the chance to try a handful of their beers before committing to an entire glass. At most taprooms, the flight is a set price and you pick which beers to include.
