The size of beer bottles is pissing me off

[JohnnyMac]

I have boycotted European beers since they went to the 11.2 ounce bottle.

Now tonight, I buy a 12 of Labatt, and I see the bottles are only 11.5 ounces.

What total bullshit!

I love the new 16 oz bud and bud light aluminum bottles. They stay so cold i cant keep any around lol

everything is getting smaller if the consumer doesn't want to pay more. Its getting ridiculous. Its all about the shareholder.

I only need one beer...

Bring back''Little Knicks" and "GIQ's"! Little Knicks with a taste and GIQ's meant less trips to the fridge.

Craft IPAs, etc are a rip in the $10-$12/750ml range.

$10/6er is the norm now.
And will only get worse.

The top of the line DIPAs go for $4 a 16oz can.

Paid $22 for Flora Plumb 375ML a couple of months ago
And $16 for Nocturn 500 ML bottle.

Not a hobby or recreation for the thin of wallet.

If you are really that concerned about the price per ounce of your craft beer buy a kegerator for the garage or wet bar. Start buying 1/6 kegs of your favorite current brew and you'll never look back. Then you don't have to worry about those 11.5 oz bottles.

Old Milwaukee is still 12oz and about $5-6 a case after the rebates that are almost always going on. Just saying

A fine brew..!!

 

[CoachCB]

Most "craft" beer or European beers are sold in a size based off of their alcohol content. If you go to a bar and buy a beer w/ 9.5% alcohol they typically won't serve it in a 12oz glass...you'll get shit-faced thinking "I've only had 4 beers" (when you've had the alcohol content of 8-10 "regular" beers).
