You owe me a buck. It is made about 40 miles from me. It may be a

Looks like a good beer!
Instead of a buck, how about I buy you one of those if we ever meet up?

Fair enough, I'll get some ice in the cooler.






My point in all this is that the 11.2oz bottle isn't, nor has it ever
been, a technique used to deceive the consumer. It's simply the "metric
system" in action.

In this case you are probably right. I've not run into the metric
bottles yet.



How do you explain those evil cola companies giving away an extra 3-1/2
ounces in every 1/2 gallon of soda!? :-p

You do bring up an interesting point. It has to cost a bundles to
change from a 32 oz to 30 oz between tooling for the glass,
recalibrating filling machines, changing case sizes. All cost that is
passed on to the consumer.
