Like 90% of beer and 70% or soda pop in the us is sold in 12oz cans or bottles. A 6-pack of beer is almost alway 12oz or 16oz in each can/bottle. A 6-pack of imported European beer is often 11.2 oz per bottle.

In the US, beer typically comes in 12oz (355mL) bottles or cans. However, lots of European brands are sold in bottles that appear the same size, but only contain 11.2 oz (~330 mL). It seems like a rip-off since it's close enough you usually don't notice at the store, but you get home and you feel like you're missing almost half a beer per six-pack.

Oh I forgot about those cans, for me they seem normal but I would never buy any beer less than half liter. If I am buying beer, I probably wont drink just one so those cans really are a waste of money. Those beers you are talking about are overrated and overpriced.

I am from Europe, can you elaborate?
Semi-relates: Germans call a half liter beer (16.9oz) a small beer and a large beer is 1L(33.8oz).

No man it's 11.2 oz. Even trappist beers do it, so wtf?
