Tuesday Focus Group: Pint vs Schooner

We petitioned, we wrote letters, we met with weights and measures & HMRC, oh and we campaigned with a dwarf outside the houses of parliament for a whole week. And we changed the law! We forced the coalition government to shake the dust from 300-year-old measures laws, tearing up archaic licensing rules as the 2/3 pint measure was duly legalised.
With the 2/3 pint 'schooner' glasses now available in all BrewDog bars, we wanted to get your feedback on what you think is the perfect serving size for your favourite craft beers.
In our bars we normally offer everything below 4.9% in pint glasses - this is usually our 4.1% Trashy Blonde and 2.8% Blitz with everything over 7.6% usually available in a stemmed half pint glass. Beers between 5% and 7.6% are offered in a choice of pint glass or 2/3 pint glass.
In our Scottish Bars (Glasgow, Edinburgh and Aberdeen) a pint of Punk IPA costs £3.70 and a 2/3 pint costs £2.50. They cost around 20p more at BrewDog Camden due to the higher rents in London.

This is where we want your feedback. What is the ideal size for a mid strength craft beer such as 5am Saint or Punk IPA? Would you prefer to enjoy it in a pint or 2/3 pint?
Are we going to see the death of the pint glass?
