    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.
