    Google tells me a pint is 473.176 mls. Most ‘big’ craft beers at the pub are 440ml as opposed to the 285ml option.

    only in 'murica!

    in UK it's a proper 568 ml glass

    Ah righto, Imperial vs US.

    I could do 10 pretty easy in the UK but I was a massive pisshead in those days. Would be much more of an effort these days.

    jesus, no kidding.

    Mind you, they have lower alcohol beers too - 4% is a sessionable beer. Also, cool and not too fizzy makes easy drinking. We paced ourselves pretty well on Saturday at Beervana, and made sure we ate and drank water. No one got munted, and felt pretty good the next day - just tired

    Yeah I deliberately chose a couple of sours cos they had the much lower alcohol content. That helped us pace ourselves. I also had three separate meals during the day !

    Not sure off the top of my head the strongest beer I had, possibly the pecan pie one or a scotch ale, both just under 10% from memory.

    @nzzp a couple of pages I joined during lockdown, I noticed loads of Americans drink low alchohol beers too...

    @MN5 normal handles where I go are 500ml.

    Wedding anniversary today. Getting the kids now, dropping them to the in-laws, then have drinks, dinner, and a hotel stay. 30 hours of glorious no-kids time to drink and eat and get rejected.

    Just been out for a few beers

    Had a triple ipa tonight. Kelly Ryan and Luke Nicholas went past hop zombie. 12% from the keg and tasted closer to a sessionable beer.

    We live in craft beer paradise in NZ

    https://www.beerjerk.co.nz/products/epic-hop-zombier-10-440ml-can

    Also, going home to have a few quiets with the wife

    Edit: it was bloody good beer. Tasty and hoppy

    Do we what ?

    The amount AND high quality of the breweries is quite ridiculous.

    My latest go to is Behemoth. Their weird and wonderful stuff is just superb

    Neither. I shook his hand at Beervana and said I enjoyed his beer in a typically stoic kiwi fashion.

    I find Emerson’s really average.

    Not bad, but nothing stand out. Pretty bog standard
