I like to have a beer once in awhile, usually Stella Atois or Shiner Bock. I bought a six pack of Stella
over the weekend and I just finished my last bottle and noticed that the bottle seemed smaller. Sure enough it's only 11.2 ozs instead of 12 ozs. I'll have to look at the Shiner bottle next time I buy some and see if they are skimping too. Any of you guys notice a difference in the amount they are putting in the bottles?

Shrink flation

It's a European thing. 1/3 of a liter.

I thought Stella and Peroni had been 11.2oz for a while?

They said I was crazy when I said they wouldn’t just stop with roundabouts. Now 11.2oz beers…

I'm pretty sure Stella has always been that way. I don't normally drink beer, but when I do it's Stella.

I have some here, I should go look

This. Same bottle as Europe and just put a US/English label on it.

Saves the expense of setting up a whole new bottling facility for 12 Oz bottles, I would imagine.

Stella bottles are 11.2, always have been (since i have been buying it, the last year or so). The cans are 12 oz.

Labbatts has been 11.5 ounces for quite a while. I pointed out to a bud that if you bought a case you were only getting 23 beers. Boy was he pissed after I pointed that out. 😂

Well, my mistake. Just never noticed it before. I mostly drink Shiner.

You can have faith that Shiner won't skimp.

Sam Olson should know the answer.

Not much better than an ice cold Stella. (beer anyways)

I've always thought Miller lite skimped on their beer to the point it was undrinkable......

In the 80s they took over PBR and ruined that as well.

Rocket science.

No light beers rate being called beer.

Somehow I doubt you've been to a beer hall in Munich.

It doesn't take much Shiner for me. Their house style could be described as filling, and not in a good way.

🤣

Here's some worthless trivia for you.....when George Killians Irish Red came out in the 1980's, the original bottles were 11 ounces, not 12.
Very shortly thereafter, the bottle shape was changed and capacity was increased to 12 ounces. Kinda like an Ackley Improved beer.

I still have a full unopened 11 ounce bottle around here somewhere.

Do beers from those halls come with stick on fake mustaches?

Fuçking Europe ruins everything, even strippers and midget porn

Yeah, they've always been 11.2 or whatever the euro dorks bottle.

Sad thing is Stella is now dead to me. The American(buyout) version tastes like chit, I quite buying it.

I found that out the hard way.

If I want lite beer I'll drink 16 instead of 17.

styx

LOL

Am I the only Dos Equis fan?

Roundabouts.... I call them FDTs - French Death Traps.

Sure, they speed up traffic- until the glass needs cleaning up. I hate them Mofo's !

I can't count the times I've nearly been creamed by some idiot (usually a woman) blasting through with her cell phone in her ear, often in excess of listed speed.

I sorta consider the Mofos a stop sign.....

So castigate me.

I liked Dos Equis, back when I was doing alcohol.

ABInBev has spent a ton of money to make Stella in the US now - next to Budweiser. Bottling lines at their scale are pretty agnostic between 12/11.2 oz

Long as they don’t fug with keystone light…..

Put me down for Modelo when talking Spanish.

Stella Artois isn't beer!

Well Stone definitely messed up their plans and got a nice payday for it - Pay up - 56m

Be interesting to see if Molson ever does and now that Stone is owned by Sapporo - how much Sapporo wants to push it.
