    Yea tempted to say switch to European styles for the long run. Also is the industry standard bottle world wide cause if it’s just the US no fucking reason in the mid term future to not use stubby bottles as an act of defiance

    But Trump might roll them back on Wednesday! And they’re back on Saturday. But off next Tuesday! But then - tariffs next Thursday again!

    That’s how you do a business.

    Were American cans of normal sizes, not American ones? Or Canada uses the Imperial system for beer?

      Imperial. Our cans are 355 ml (12oz) or 473ml (16oz / 1 pint) whereas European ones are generally 330ml and 500ml.

        Oh European ones are 500ml I always thought it was only because of shrinkflation that those became smaller. TIL

          Nope, it’s a standard pint, same as you’d get in an English pub! Same deal with those 946ml containers which are a quart, not a shrinkflated litre.

      We use a mix of the 2 systems. The cans are 355ml for normal size. Tall boys depend on the company.
