Spearhead

Betty's on King St. E near Princess St. has the Haiwian Ale on tap.
A half pint is poured in the regular pint glass to where the glass flares
out. At $4.85 it's the best deal around. Cheers :D

I had this same experience early on. Cass is right. Call the beer store
to say your bottles were rejected. I did and got a free case of beer. :)

Is that an official pint?

Hi all: Don't know if this has been posted separately before but the discussion of how some pints seem under volume led me to some checking. The Canadian pint is 20 oz. or 568.26 ml. There is no maximum size "pint" pour for Ontario as in B.C. where it's 500ml. for the so called pint. Accor...

It looks like the bottle in 4 pks of #9 will be sold on the premises but
not right away. They are still waiting on their license to sell bottled product
from the brewpub.

BTW noticed that the bottle volume is around 275 ml.
