Hi Chris and all
In the past, Canada used imperial measure and our pint was 20 oz like
yours. We are now metric and therefore get our beer served in
various sized glasses. An interesting fact is that a US ounce is
bigger than ours. Beer cans used in Canada are 12US oz(355ml)
whereas reusable returnable beer bottles are 12Imp oz(341ml).
See you in Dublin
