US measures in ounces, we have three standard beer sizes: 12oz, 24oz and the infamous 40oz. Bars will sell 16oz draught beer, no one is really sure where that came from and not all bars sell them.
16oz is a pint and most US bars do serve drafts that size… And I’m pretty sure it’s a carry over from the UK where it’s always been common to order a pint of beer.
“Imperial pints” in the UK are actually 20oz interestingly enough though.
Seems like they typically get larger standard sizes of beer than us and I think we should follow their lead.
