They have gone before you have started enjoying the drink. Worse still are those little bottles of French beer that only contain 250ml. On the larger cans, only Deya seem to prefer the 500ml over the 440ml. Some of the mass produced drinks such as Stella are now sold in 568ml (one pint) format cans. There just doesn't seem to be any coherence to these measuresRobin Oldfieldnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8629758183547510158.post-10010507850321202882020-10-26T10:30:47.955+00:002020-10-26T10:30:47.955+00:00For many beers where cold is best, smaller portion...For many beers where cold is best, smaller portions have less time to warm up. You can sink a few cold ones.<br /><br />For the flat warm brown pish beloved of beards, might as well package it in bucket sized cans.Cooking Lagerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02830924433230427226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8629758183547510158.post-22301738523239247792020-10-24T21:20:51.398+01:002020-10-24T21:20:51.398+01:00I must admit I was surprised, and also slightly ap...I must admit I was surprised, and also slightly appalled when 330ml cans re-appeared on the shelves. I don't think anyone south of the border, missed them when they vanished, so why on earth bring them back?<br /><br />A retrograde step thought I, akin to returning to pounds, shillings and pence, imperial measures or leaving the European Union!<br /><br />Mudge is right in his summary; not just on the price front, but with the conclusion that one is not enough!

I'm pretty sure it was Cloudwater who spearheaded the move to 440 (for pretty much everything).Philhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07009879034507926661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8629758183547510158.post-62526283226408510192020-10-24T18:09:06.209+01:002020-10-24T18:09:06.209+01:00Most US beers are sold in 355 ml (12 oz) bottles o...Most US beers are sold in 355 ml (12 oz) bottles or cans, which is where they got the idea from. <br /><br />It has the twofold advantage of achieving a higher price/volume ratio and also avoiding looking fuddy-duddy, which is a key consideration for craft brewers.<br /><br />Craft to some extent seems to have embraced 440 ml cans, but it's still considered anathema to put anything in a 500 ml size.<br /><br />The problem I have is that you always feel you need two!Curmudgeonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02558747878308766840noreply@blogger.com
