Three - unless the beer is poured in faster than it can exit through the pipes in One - in which case One will fill first.

THREE, is correct. You're right. The glass, plus the pipe off to its left will all fill up, before any liquid gets high enough in 1 to flow towards 4.

Noooo, 3 can't fill because it will leak before it is full. Surely! Oh, I see your point as I type, 3 definitely, I think. :mad:

Three. All the liquid filters to the right. Would have been seven but it appears to be blocked off.

This is a dickish puzzle - the blocked pipes turn it from being a proper physics question into a ner-ner-ner-ner-ner trick. I'm out.

3 can’t fill can it until 6 is full. No longer think it is 3, 6 for me

None. Assuming the bottle holds the same volume as one glass, some of the liquid will remain in glass one below the opening to glass 3.

Although that answer doesn't hold if you have unlimited liquid to pour.
