But the so called 'pint glass' isn't, they are about 14 oz. if filled to the rim.

Only if you get crappy restaurant cheater glasses. A proper pint glass holds 16.9oz with room for head.

That'd make sense IF they sold it in liter bottles.

330, 500, 750, 1l - all sizes i see a lot in Euro beers.

Not sure why they settled on 330, but they did.

Canadian beer is imperial too. 341ml bottle = 12 uk fl oz.

I'm not really sure when / how europe standardized on 330 or 335ml. It's not anything imperial, it's not hard metric, it's just weird.

Maybe they were going for 1/3l and just round it a bit. That way it's similar to 12oz in size, but hard metric.. kinda...

Canada is too influenced by America.

Not in this case, as we have 12 UK fl oz, not US. It from before we changed systems. Though our cans are 12 US fl oz, as the tooling must be newer...

Although a lot of the time we did get screwed. Lots of things were 4.5L (UK gal). Then we metrified, got 4L. Then NATFA, and now a lot of things are american 3.8L gallons. So now we get 15% less for the same price, surely...

I generally buy bombers of beer. Those miniature bottles of under 22oz size kinda suck.
