    Imperial. Our cans are 355 ml (12oz) or 473ml (16oz / 1 pint) whereas European ones are generally 330ml and 500ml.

      Oh European ones are 500ml I always thought it was only because of shrinkflation that those became smaller. TIL

        Nope, it’s a standard pint, same as you’d get in an English pub! Same deal with those 946ml containers which are a quart, not a shrinkflated litre.

        I much prefer smaller beer cans (330ml or 355ml) over the 500ml and up. I find that I do not drink a beer fast enough for the large can. Having the last 1/3 of the beer be warm and flat is a major turn off!

          If you actually like beer, you should know that warmer beer (or anything else) actually allows you to taste it better. There’s a reason Budweiser is served so damn cold. There’s a lot of beers I prefer to be around room temperature.

            I’ve tried many different beers. Loved some, hated others. I do not drink Budweiser, I drink Canadian and European beer.

            I’ve never had a beer in my life that tasted better when warm. If I want a warm drink I’ll drink coffee or tea.

            Ice cream also tastes a lot stronger when warm. I doubt many people prefer warm ice cream.

              That’s fine. It’s a preference thing whether you like it or not. Warmer things you can taste better though. For example, usually good sake is drank warm and bad sake is drank cold.

              Personally, saisons I like to be warmer. It really helps their smell and flavor come through. I don’t mean warm though, just warmer. Around room temperature or so.
