...at Noble Ale Works in Anaheim, California.
Microbreweries are popping up all over the USA and Noble Ale Works is one I recently discovered. Their IPA is very fine indeed! A common practice is for the brewery to sell tasting "flights" that allow a patron to sample a number of beers (usually 5 or 6 varieties at a time) in small quantities before selecting one to have in a larger tumbler. At Noble they use brandy snifters as flight glassware. This particular group of 20-somethings (the primary microbrew demographic it would appear) had ordered a number of flights at the same time and the array of snifters seemed very impressive to me. I asked if they would mind me taking a picture and they graciously complied.
