ok this isnt cool

Neighbor just gave me a 24 pack of labatts long neck bottles of beer for some work i did for him with the tractor. i took one out of the box and thought it looked small. looked at the case and theyre 11.5 oz bottles!

There are beers brewed in Italy that are 11.5 oz. The most popular of those is Peroni. I don't think there are any American brews that are 11.5 oz.

i was told its because the canadians use the imperial measurement. still odd that bottles are 11.5 and cans are 12oz. oh well even at 11.5 this case will last me a year

I attempted to correlate ounces (US) to its metric equivalent in milliliters (UK).  No conformance was achieved to a "standard" metric fluid measurement.

Fluid Ounce. A fluid ounce is approximately 30ml of liquid in both the US and UK. However, the exact value in the UK is 28.4ml and 29.6ml in the US.

11.5 oz (US)  ==>  340.1 ml (US)

The metric value, as seen etched on glass throughout Europe, has decimal equivalents of the liter as:
0.33 l
0.50 l
1.0 Liter
etc.

So, an 11.5-ounce (US) beer is about 0.33 liter (326.6 ml) in the UK, which is the Beer Maker's "close approximation" to the metric system.

It hurts my head...
