I grabbed one at a big lcbo on highway 27. Not sure of the cross street buy it was close to woodbine. I'm not from the area and just stopped on a whim after dropping off my brother at Pearson.

Indeed, I'd really like one. The Renaissance hotel by my house (attached to Rogers centre) sells Sam Adams and serves it in the glass, I've not had the nerve to nick one!

I got one at the Yonge & Davisville LCBO (Toronto). There were more 6-packs but I got the last one that had a glass stuck to it. No idea if they'll get more glasses. I like the glass, especially the bump on the rim, it delivers the carbonation on to my tongue really nicely.

I got one. I was suprised at how small it was. Is that a U.S Pint?

its just a 12 oz glass. its meant for the standard 12 oz bottles that it came with.

If thats a 12oz glass, then those aren't 12oz bottles.

Even including some space for the head, a 12oz bottle doesn't fill that glass.

I'm thinking its a US pint.

I'm confused. A US pint is 16 oz. The Boston Lager is 355 ml which is approx 12 oz. And this glass is the perfect size for that much beer and ends up looking much like it's pictured here:
