I didn't say it was a bad size, I said it was an odd one. Meaning not 330, 341, 500, 650, 750...

375 ml is a typical European size from Belgium, I think... a hold-over from the Lembeek tradition of re-using wine and champagne bottles... we've gotten some Gueuze, Kriek and other chanpagne-style beers in 'em.

Get with it man! :lol:

I'm going to hold out and say that beers sized after hold-overs from the Lembeek tradition, which I totally know what is, are abnormal in the modern marketplace. No matter what anyone says. :evil:

I remember reading in The Brewmaster's Table that Golden Pride used to come in a 250ml bottle.

Yeah, I believe so. Cobblestone in 440 ml, I think, and it has a widget.
