Americans definitely love their larger 1/4 lb’ers over the smaller European 1/3 lb patties (lemmy.world)

0.9 liter beer can

My mom bought me one of these from Estonia, 900ml.

    Funnily enough, that would be pretty hard to find in Estonia these days, only a few alcohol stores carry Russian stuff anymore

    Very multi-cultural though, you got a "czech style" beer made in Russia from Estonia

    Of course the truly big beers come in 2 liter bottles and are consumed by... well let's say not the favourite customers of store clerks working in small grocery stores in small towns.

    12 volts, 900ml. It would be a 2 days hangover for me.

    Apparently that is actually the measurement of gravity in the Plato scale. The beer has 4.9% abv, and 12 degrees of gravity (??)

    Here's what I found from wikipedia

    "By considering the original gravity, the brewer or vintner obtains an indication as to the probable ultimate alcoholic content of their product. The OE (original extract) is often referred to as the "size" of the beer and is, in Europe, often printed on the label as Stammwürze or sometimes just as a percent. In the Czech Republic, for example, common descriptions are "10 degree beers", "12 degree beers" which refer to the gravity in Plato of the wort before the fermentation."

    4.9% is the alcohol percentage, 12% is the sugar percentage that was present at the start of the brewing.

    Didn't find a better source that this wiki page. There's another similar sugar related unit which is degree...

    All inferior as it is an indirect measure of the amount of alcohol in the can.
