I've seen many beer flights, but all have the same boring identical glasses despite the variety of their contents. I would love to offer my beers in a flight of glasses offering some degree of appropriate shape. I realize that by shrinking the glassware the shape might become less effective but I feel that what it would lack in efficacy it would more than make up for in eye candy.
A flight with a Pilsner Flute, Mini English Pint, Chalice, Thistle or Tulip, Wheat Glass and Snifter would be awesome!:rockin:

Have you ever seen such a thing?
Would I have to contact a glass blower and pay out the wazoo for a set?

I think it's a cute/novel idea, though strictly for looks. Glassware truly has minimal effect on most other elements, IMO... and based on a few "blind" experiments I've read about. Do it!!
 
I think that is a good idea really,It would give a nice visual experience and I bet alot of customers would ask what it was and would be curious.
Our brew Ha Ha, last year had small english pub style tasting glasses. Which seemed unusuall for a small style. I think those may have been a litle bigger than flight sampler glasses though.
 
I think it's a great idea, one of my favorite establishments takes the time to serve all their beer in the appropriate style glass and it's a really nice touch to their service:)
 
One or two of the breweries I've been to serve their sample flights in mini tulips, which I find to be the best compromise. Plus, they look cool.
