Another victim of the economy. . .

You'd probably be a bit surprised if you looked at a lot of Euro beers (like said above) and the actual fluid amount.


a lot of them are 11,2 oz.


When I lived in Ireland, I never found an equivalent 12oz can/bottle of beer.

all were 11,2 or 1 liter in size.

Has Sonny sent a pack of hellions over to buzz your house yet for ragging his jeans?  You are an agent provocateur after-all

no..... but we did have a couple of drunk 1%ers come in the store looking for fanny packs the other day.

You sure?

its the fault of the metric system.
11.2 is roughly 1/3 of a liter.

And what do we think of Session Lager, which is served in 11oz shorties?

I think you misread what I wrote.

I said "all were 11,2oz or 1 liter in size"

meaning that the beer for sale in stores was either 11,2 oz or 1L.

I never found a 12oz can.

I wasn't doing a conversion of volume as 11,2 oz isn't even close to 1L.

hell look at a 20z Mt dew compared to a 1L Mt Dew.

If you re-read your line from a different perspective, it comes across as if you implied 11.2oz = 1L.

That is all.

Carry on.

It appears that the hard economic times has affected the beer industry.  Gone is the 12 oz. bottle.  This weekend I bought Red Stripe from Jamaica and Paulaner from Germany, and both had 11.2 oz. bottles.  WTF?  At least Moosehead still has the traditional 12 oz. but for how long I wonder as this trend spreads theroughout the industry.  It's probably BP's fault.

I bet you'll be paying the same amount for less beer too.  

They tried to do this in Australia. Cascade lager was being produced in a 375ml (12oz) bottle and they changed it to a 330ml (11oz) 'trendy' bottle to market it to suckers and charge the same for less beer.

It didn't work, no one was buying it and they changed it back.  

NOTE: I just checked an online conversion litres to US liquid ounces & 375ml is 12 US liquid ounces. I don't know where you get it is a litre? Mebbe I'm wrong.  But the internets never lies.
