Also known as a grenade or a pony. Coronita, Rolling Rock, and Miller High Life beers popularized nip bottles.  You’ll often see them in buckets of ice.

This 22 ounce bottle is meant to be shared with friends or drink a little less beer than two cans. Many craft breweries also used bombers for limited release brews for the longest time.

Another bottle used for limited edition beers is the large format bottle (750 ml). Unlike the bomber, the large format is corked like a wine bottle. You will often find expensive beers, particularly stouts and imperial ales, stored this way.
