Not when it is an American (wet) pint, but nearly so when it is an American dry pint.......but I've never drunk American dry beer............... whoops..simple.wikipedia.org |

After all a pint is a pint legal or not. You said it, the "Pints" are only so called pints and only refer to a biggish glass with no defined volume. If your local is losing money they could legally change all their glasses to smaller ones. The attitude seems to be the customer knows the price and can see the glass so it's their choice whether to accept it or not. Maybe like supermarkets the price should indicate how much per 100mls :D |

| 1124012 | 2010-08-06 11:17:00 | I can buy pints where I am, at the moment (St. Albans, UK) and I do:thumbs: City of pubs and churches. 160 pubs here; some outstanding, some OK, some not worth the time of day. We're supposed to be back in NZ in a fortnight, with that sort of nonsense, should I bother? Where to this afternoon; Peahen, Black Lion, maybe the White Hart:lol: All within a few minutes walk from my son's place. |

Hope you have tried some Black Sheep or maybe some Theakstons instead of trying all that week kneed Lager |

Good ales and bitters. Try to get naturally brewed (traditional) ones too. But in fairness to Lager, we were in Ghent for a few days, right in the middle of their summer festival and Belgium, being the home of lager, we had to try some; really good - Hoegaarden, Leffe, Grimbergen:thumbs: |
