I see them everywhere in the UK and in France (although 330ml cans are more frequent)
- 6nf 6y agoAustralia and NZ are also dominated by 330ml beer cans and bottles. Popular beers sell for maybe USD 2.50 a bottle I think? On a side note: I can't remember ever seeing all three South African capital cities listed in a data table like this. Nice!
- _ph_ 6y agoThere are also 1000ml cans, especially for Oktoberfest beer :)
- vram22 6y agoAnd 1 liter steins, I've read. IIRC there is a German name for them.
- _ph_ 6y agoRight. They are calles a Mass (or a Masskrug). While "stein" is a German word, it isn't used in German for the glasses[1]. The German term is "Krug" or "Bierkrug", or in the case of 1 liter, a Masskrug. In the Oktoberfest time you can find bundles of a 1l can of Oktoberfest beer and the fitting Masskrug in the supermarkets. For Oktoberfest, special charges of beer are brewed. To compensate for the large servings (1 liter) it is even stronger than normal beer at about 6.5%. So the inexperienced should be careful with that, or they are going to make experiences. Been there, done that! :) 1) I would expect the name comes from "Steingut", which is a ceramic. It was traditionally used for making beer mugs, but today, mostly glass is used.
- vram22 6y agoThat was the name I think I read about for the big stein. Didn't know the other stuff. Sehr gut, danke :)
- mytailorisrich 6y agoHere in the UK the most common volume for beer cans is 440ml. There are also pint-sized cans (568ml). Bottles tend to be 500ml. 330ml cans are mostly for soft drinks. On the other hand, in France 330ml for beer is more common, indeed.
- baha_man 6y agoPint-sized cans of beer are rare, many beers come in 500ml cans. 330ml cans are common, especially for craft beer.
- mytailorisrich 6y agoCraft beers are not common...
