I’d be very surprised if the answer is mainly yes. I only drink pints at home due to this bad boy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only one of my tipples of choice comes in a larger (500ml) bottle. I'm not a fan of beer in cans. Far prefer Stella in cans (but it has to be the pint can). Complete opposite for Tennents for which the chilled bottled form is a delight. I find I just pretty much down 330ml bottles. The idea that any part of a pint could ever be left so long that it loses its fizz is an alien concept to me.

carpetmonster Posted September 30 Share Posted September 30 16ozs (or 1 US pint) is the standard can size for the majority of Chicago breweries, so a pint is my usual serving size if at home. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The idea that any part of a pint could ever be left so long that it loses its fizz is an alien concept to me. My tipple of choice comes in 3 bottle sizes - 330/500/1000ml. The 1000ml is pretty much bought as a sharing bottle - I stick to the 500ml (as an aside the 1000ml is slightly dearer than 2x500ml. As a 2nd aside - a 330ml can is about 20% dearer than a 330ml bottle). The problem of losing fizz is real for me as I like my beer really, really cold so I keep my beer glasses in the freezer which can be a recipe for flat beer. Many here add ice to their beer which is totally f****d up to me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who weighs beer? What's that in normal pints or ml? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Confusingly, US fluid ounces are larger than imperial fluid ounces, but US pints are smaller than imperial pints. A US pint is roughly 473 ml, whilst the imperial pint is 568 ml. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carpetmonster Posted October 1 Share Posted October 1 47 minutes ago, Granny Danger said: Is the amount of a ‘fluid’ ounce variable? Surprisingly yes. An imperial fl oz is 28.41mls whereas the US one is 29.57mls. So the yank one is bigger, but they call 16 of them a pint, whereas you’ll need 20 of them in Blighty. So if you get a 20oz ‘pint’ in the US - and there’s a pub I sometimes go to for the football that’ll give you British beers (usually Fullers and Belhaven) in that option - it actually pisses all over your wee sad colonist pints to the tune of an extra 23 and a bit millilitres. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But neither of these ‘fluid’ ounces are ‘fluid’, they are both set measures. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're drinking Bellhaven or Fullers I'm not sure getting extra can be classed as winning. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
