US measures in ounces, we have three standard beer sizes: 12oz, 24oz and the infamous 40oz. Bars will sell 16oz draught beer, no one is really sure where that came from and not all bars sell them.
16oz is a pint and most US bars do serve drafts that size… And I’m pretty sure it’s a carry over from the UK where it’s always been common to order a pint of beer.
“Imperial pints” in the UK are actually 20oz interestingly enough though.
Seems like they typically get larger standard sizes of beer than us and I think we should follow their lead.
What is 440ml to begin with? A propper beer in a can is 500ml, a propper beer in a bottle is 330ml or 500ml. Everything else is a scam.
A lot of imported beers come in 440 ml cans. US ones in particular. But I agree that it feels scammy, because we expect them to be 500 ml.

That’s interesting because most canned and bottled beers in the US are 12 ounces / 354 ml …
Lolol that 440 was from the previous round of shrinkflation
