Not at all, in UK supermarkets the cheap beers often came in what we call 'stubbies', 330ml bottles. They were usually some generic unspecified supermarket own brand labelled 'beer de alsace' or something. Per litre they were significantly cheaper than the 500mls. They've now disappeared from shelves, but even today, one of the cheapest beer at the moment available in most Tescos is a 6 pack of 330ml cans of moretti.
Why talk so confidently about something you're ignorant about?
It's easy to see price per 100ml in the UK as the supermarkets have to show it on the price labels.
- ginko 6y agoGrandparent was talking about Germany, not the UK.
- mattmanser 6y agoAnd the great-grandparent was saying nowhere has 330mls apart from America. You're both wrong, many countries have 330ml beers, and they can be the cheap beers.
- ginko 6y agoI don't care what great-grandparent said. I just added that _in Germany_ a 33cl bottle will usually be more expensive by volume than a 50cl one since that's the standard.
