I never knew there was a law enforcing 20 oz. pint sizes in Canada!!
This is great news given how many bars and pubs serve 14-16 oz. "pints".
If you get shorted make sure you complain!

From the Government of Canada:
Before submitting your complaint, consider the following:
A pint contains 20 fl oz (568 ml) in Canada.
The limit of error for 20 fl oz is 0.5 fl oz (the foam (head) is not included in the measurement).
When a quantity other than a pint is advertised, the quantity served must be must be equal to the stated quantity within the limit of error.

This has always bugged the shit out of me, especially in provinces that's can't legally serve 20oz as one serving yet still advertise a pint... but what are the rules on "pint (16oz)" on a menu? Hudson's has gone this this and it pisses me off cause you use to get a true pint there
You can call it a pint and be any size as long as the volume is listed, IE "Pint (14 oz)".
If it just says Pint it has to be 20 oz.
You could also always report a bar/pub to the AGLC for not following these rules.
I think it's a valid complaint. I don't think they can call it a pint unless it is 20 oz.Originally posted by ercchry

To me, 16 oz. should be a schooner.
File a complaint!
A schooner is 32oz around here
They can call it a pint as long as it lists the oz. So there is no point in filing a complaint.Originally posted by davidI

I've been watching menu's lately and it seams as though everyone does list the oz. I haven't come across a place that doesn't yet.
Where'd you determine that?Originally posted by roopi

From the gov't website: When a quantity other than a pint is advertised, the quantity served must be must be equal to the stated quantity within the limit of error.
I read that as anything called a "Pint" needing to be 568ml.
Perhaps they could call it an American Pint?
You're right. I'm too used to Australia.Originally posted by ercchry

In South Australian pubs and clubs, the term "schooner" refers to a glass with a capacity of 285 mL (known as a "pot" elsewhere in Australia, and a "middy" in New South Wales and Western Australia 10 imp. fl. oz., or half an imperial pint, pre-metrication). In other Australian states "schooner" refers to a glass of 425 mL (15 imp. fl. oz., or three-quarters of an imperial pint, pre-metrication). It is the most common size in New South Wales, Queensland and the Northern Territory, although not unknown in other states. Currently,[when?] some hospitality venues in Western Australia are going through a process of "schoonerification", whereby the previous culture of drinking by pints has been changed with vessels of schooner size to allay increasing costs to venues and with encouragement from the state government to curb binge drinking.
In Canada, a "schooner" refers to a large capacity beer glass. Unlike the Australian schooner, which is smaller than a pint, a Canadian schooner is always larger. Although not standardized, the most common size of schooner served in Canadian bars is 32 oz. (946 mL); the volume of two US pints. It is usually a tankard (mug) shaped glass, rather than a pint shaped glass. It shouldn't be confused with Schooner Lager, which is a regional brand of beer found only in the eastern maritime provinces of Canada.
This is silly. We live in Canada. They should be using the metric system. In Germany Beer comes in 33cL, 50cL, or 100cL. Done easy.

I completely agree. And require the measures to be marked on the glasses. I've seen it a lot on my travels but can't recall which countries require it.Originally posted by jacky4566

We're commonwealth... P's&Q's makes sense... UK takes these things seriously, certified glasses and all
What I really hate is when all the different Beers have their own glasses so you get differing amounts depending on what brand you orders.
Most of those branded glasses have markings for 20ozOriginally posted by pheoxs

Yeah but it seems like some bars follow the lines, some under fill, and some over fill (not complaining about those).Originally posted by ercchry
