500ml to 440ml?
Edit: the 440 on the right, is the last of a can that I bought in a four pack. The 500 on the left, is one of three I bought as singles.
Packaged Guinness comes in 440 milliliters. Single cans of Guinness come in 500 mL.
Apparently, that’s how Guinness does it here in Canada.
And apparently, I lazily avoided any attempt to research or apply any level of critical thinking before posting.
Guinness is owned by diageo a company know for having no bottom, toptier shit heads. They’d charge you full price to spit in your mouth if they could.
Also unpopular oppionion don’t drink this mediocre beer. Support local brewery’s there is probably one with a porter on nitro (guiness is barely a stout).
Sorry Irish people your cultural touchstone is a bit shit.
Definitely an interesting man and brewery for sure don’t get me wrong. The problem I have with guiness is the same I have with many famous breweries. Is that as soon as they are bought out by soulless mega corps be it AB inbev, Heineken, asahi or lion Nathan all that culture and history may as well be thrown out the window. The past of these great breweries is nothing more than a tool for the marketing team to increase sales numbers. Which is definitely a shame. Support local small business that are actively involved in your community over international mega corporations. Be a conscious consumer and vote with your dollar in everything not just beer.
Didn’t Asahi acquire all of lion Nathan breweries over a decade ago?
Edit, actually kirin owns lion Nathan, but asahi definitely aquaired some of their brands a while ago.

I like that actually - big things wither, small things conquer. And small things are personal, so things with soul are stronger than things without it.
Any famous beer that is associated with a country is usually shit… Like molson canadian, fosters, or bud light
It took me a while to realize guinness falls firmly into this category as well
I don’t think Fosters is associated with a country. Maybe Japan or England.
it was marketed here (north america) as an australian beer… i think their slogan was “australian for beer” at some point. also parodied heavily in the simpsons episode in australia…
never heard of any associations with japan or england
They’d charge you full price to spit in your mouth if they could.
TIL Guinness is owned by dominatrixes…? Dominatrices?

Merriam-Webster says that both forms are acceptable.
I did local-ish. Then they were bought out and shrinkflated.

Was drinking Guinness til I found another.
Oof that’s rough. Im not sure how excise tax works where you are but here it’s every six months it increases. Beer seems to get worse /smaller /more expensive over time.
There was a beer I drank a lot 5 years ago from a local brewery that was a 6.5% abv ipa. They dropped the abv then dropped down to 4 packs then the price went up $5 aud. I get they are a business but it just wasn’t at a price point I could justify paying for it. There was a time where I gave up homebrewing because I could get local good beer for a good price. I’m contemplating taking it back up but it’s a lot of work.
