    Just a note to the publicans. If the miller reps gave you the new 'square' taps then don't use the new glasses that came with! They're 20oz american pints. I think it's 591ml but cannot remember.
    I noticed it recently when we got the glasses. Hope nobody has been serving in them! ;)

    Mods, feel free to move as seen fit. Couldn't think of any other forum to post in.

    US pints are 470mil. There's a fair ol difference there of about 20% rip off.

    Well then someone really messed it up. I know that paulaner glasses are larger too but they have to be for the head to stay consistant. No such markings on the miller glasses.

    20 oz (about 570ml) is the imperial pint...sounds about right to me, the U.S. deal in 16 oz (about 470ml) which is way less than a pint!

    We had it years ago, got rid of it due to lack of sales. We got in again about a year ago after Richmond took it over but we stopped ordering it after two kegs, again due to lack of sales.

    Will try upload later on. they're rebranding the whole thing. The new taps are horrible rectangular shaped.
