I am only trying to point out that it is important to accurately tell people what they are ordering, not advocating for pints over sleeves or any other size. I the world of strong craft beer sometimes to much is not a good thing!!<br />Paddy Treavorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16360223916204727525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-826637739916486721.post-42847159583240105092012-10-19T10:23:14.370-07:002012-10-19T10:23:14.370-07:00Why am I not surprised I'm friends with the tw...Why am I not surprised I'm friends with the two people who have posted...<br /><br />I have zero problem with 16 oz sleeves, I actually prefer them if I'm at a place with a varied selection so I can have that extra beer in the night. I just want to know what I'm getting when I order.<br /><br />Whip does 20 oz pints, but also offers 16 oz sleeves, which is perfect as far as I'm concerned.Patrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00992331844714438290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-826637739916486721.post-11763745001145263702012-10-17T17:35:14.483-07:002012-10-17T17:35:14.483-07:00Is there anywhere that someone is collecting info ...Is there anywhere that someone is collecting info on who is advertising sizes in which amounts? I know, for example, that St. Augustine's menu says that most pours are 14oz, PortlandCraft's board says 16oz (a US Pint) or 20oz next to the individual beers, and Habit's menu says that their beers are all 20oz. I heard that the Whip was offering 20oz pints, though haven't confirmed. I'm not so sure about Alibi or any of the other watering holes around.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10155054097836523001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-826637739916486721.post-56839019059340582442012-10-15T01:31:39.550-07:002012-10-15T01:31:39.550-07:00Quite relevant if I lived in the USA, and the plac...Quite relevant if I lived in the USA, and the places I am blogging about are in the US, but I don't and they aren't.<br />I live in Canada, where the US gallon and US pint are not legal measures. Our currency is called the dollar and so is the American currency, so does that mean when it suits retailers, they can just advertise dollars and then demand which ever one, $Cnd or $ US, to be the legal tender of the day?<br />Am I Imperialist?
