Namely these places largely advertise as serving imperial pints (20oz). But unless there is no foam and they fill all the way to the top, it's the same as a 16 oz glass with foam or some room left at the top.

They even had a mark on their 18 oz glasses. I don't know whether this is still the case.<BR/><BR/>And in England (where the pints Imperial), the publican tops fills the glass to overflowing and scrapes off the head, thereby guaranteeing that you get an honest pint.

That's why it's attracting attention.<BR/><BR/>I agree with Zak that you shouldn't get caught up on the number of liquid ounces. The emphasis should be on "honest", not "pint". For example, Hopworks' mugs come up shy of a pint, but they are 100% honest, with a 0.4 liter mark imprinted in the glass.Bill Nighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09202318621724165312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21271644.post-57508988661087415022008-06-10T14:49:00.000-07:002008-06-10T14:49:00.000-07:00I dig the idea behind the HPP, and I dislike the 1...I dig the idea behind the HPP, and I dislike the 14oz shakers as much as the next guy, but some of your new resolutions present problems to me.<BR/><BR/>To me, "a pint" always referred to the glassware, not necessarily the exact volume of beer.

Let us know what the volume is going to be before we order so that we can make an informed decision on the cost we will pay for a speciffic volume of beer.

Back in the late 1940's or early 1950's beer on tap at most bars along Third Ave, ManhattenNy was 10 cents a glass of 8oz.The topic of the day when the breweries raised thier price was do we go with a 6oz glass and keep it at 10 cents or go with a price of 15cents and keep it at 8oz.jhickeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08316847202845060920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21271644.post-90742372552180254432008-06-10T05:09:00.000-07:002008-06-10T05:09:00.000-07:00Just caught mention of this from the WSJ via the C...Just caught mention of this from the WSJ via the Consumerist and I'm all for it. <BR/><BR/>Do you have somewhere that we can list our local purveyors that are selling honest pints?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21271644.post-78495115349839539012008-06-09T16:25:00.000-07:002008-06-09T16:25:00.000-07:00Thanks for being out in front of this.

A stipulation to putting the sticker on your door would be to have a pyrex measuring cup behind the bar and if someone asked to verify their glass size it would be. I like that you're trying to draw attention to those that do it joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14190744835642613081noreply@blogger.com
