Lamplighter Nightcap - Imperial stout aged in whiskey barrels. That’s a full pour - 6oz. I think they’re worried about the 14.3%. Smooth, not as rich as I expected. Can definitely taste the whiskey. Nice and warming on a cold night.
A fluid ounce is a measurement of volume - there are 20 in a UK pint. They just use it as an expression more than we do as their serving sizes are a bit odd - 12oz, 16oz, 32oz etc.

Oh I know what a fluid ounce (fl oz) is , but that's not the same thing as an ounce (oz) is it?!

You're right, it isn't. They just don't say fluid as I suppose it's obvious in the context of beer.

It used to be (US) pints for beer, but as craft beer has grown, and the ABV has gone up, they’ve moved to smaller servings for a lot of beers. You still see pint for some of the 5% beers.
It’s all a guess anyway, glasses aren’t marked. I saw a beer yesterday that was supposedly 11.5oz instead of 12, which I thought was mildly ridiculous.
I remember years ago, when pint were all you got, my favorite bar had an impromptu quiz session and gave out some of their pint glasses as prizes. When I used it for a 12oz bottle (which was always the standard bottle size) it filled the glass - they’d been short measuring for years.

A fluid ounce is the volume of an ounce of water, I’m guessing at around 20C and one atmosphere pressure but as it’s Imperial, not metric, it might be slightly different conditions. US pints are 16fl oz hence their serving measures.

Just to confuse things a little more, US fluid ounces are about 4% more than an Imperial fluid ounce.

Didn’t know that. Must be more deuterium in the water in the US.

It’s more bizarre than that - this from ANSI
“This initiated the divide between the two systems of measurement. Nonetheless, US Customary and Imperial units were, and still remain, mostly the same. However, an American fluid ounce was defined originally as the volume occupied by an ounce of wine, while the Imperial fluid ounce was defined as the volume occupied by an ounce of water. This made the US Customary fluid ounce a little larger, since alcohol is less dense than water.
Didn’t think I would like this as don’t like lime in my beer but it was quite subtle and then you just get a little hint of a salty aftertaste after you swallow ( oo er missus)
@MrOneLung - sounds like one for a hot summers day, not the depths of winter. I’ll have to see if I can find one, although the chances are slim. Stone is one of the beers you used to find a lot around Boston, but over the years they’ve been driven out by the sheer volume of local breweries. It been years since I saw Arrogant Bastard, and I used to drink that all the time.

Might be worth a shop around though, I'm sure in the next week or two you could get a deal

my favourite so far from the advent box.
Only 3.9% but a lovely drop.
The first decent drink I have had in a week out here in Brazil. This drop comes from over here in Belo Horizonte.
