About 6 weeks ago, I picked up a 24-pack of assorted imported beers at Costco - it had
That would be Tyskie from Poland. The samples I had were a bit old and it showed. :^(
Tysk tysk...
Thanks! The costco ones were great.

I'll concur. Owned by SAB-Miller, IIRC.
I had it on draught in Poland. A thirst-quenching-lager with IMHO too much alcohol for its own good (5,6% ABV). It's especially disappointing when you compare it with Zywiec (owned by Heineken), which is also ubiquitous in Warsaw bars and pubs, but still has a crisp, floral hopping using, I'm told, local hops varieties (Lublin / Lubelskie, a cousin of Saaz and possibly Marinka, a cousin of Styrian Goldings), which is painfully absent from Tyskie. :o(
Cheers !

Some of us (pennsylvanians) are just jealous that you can buy beer at cocsco!
Now, see, I'm thankful that I DON'T have to buy beer in a supermarket or "Big Box" store (the "liquor stores" in NJ are bad enough when it comes to beer stored under bright lights, not rotating stock and keeping out-of-date beer on the shelves). And any state (despite the beer-by-the-case "distributor" system) with Shangy's can't be all bad and a Costco beer shopper would be blown away by the selection and wouldn't much care about saving a buck or two anymore.
May label say 5.7, but it also says 11.2oz so a tad less than the usual
12oz bottle. Where does 11.2oz come from? It's about 330ml, which doesn't sound like a common size in metric. 12oz would be close to 350, and I see a few bottles here which ar 355ml, so does Poland use yet another system?
I've seen more than a few 330ml (more or less 1/3-litre) beer bottles, IIRC mostly from Belgium (Duvel comes to mind, though I don't have any on hand to check). Glancing at a few odd beer bottles I have around, it looks like they may not be uncommon in Japan, also; I have a 330-ml Nikko Beer bottle a coworker brought me from travels.

It's a third of a litre, simply. That would be 333ml, but it's been rounded down to 330ml for practical purposes, or possibly biecause it's based on a litre with 100 cl, not 1000ml ...
It is common all over contiental Europe, be it France, Belgium (most bottled beers in Belgium are either 250 or 330 ml), Germany (where the
330ml "Euro" and longneck bottles share the marker with the 500ml versions) etc. 341 ml, standard size in Canada, IIRC
Which always left me wondering... 1/10th of an US Gallon ?
Nope, 330 and 500 ml bottles, 330, 440, 500ml cans, the usual contiental sizes...
Cheers !

12oz would convert to 341ml in Imperial measure, not US measure. 12 US fl oz converts to 354.882 ml, usually rounded up to 355ml.
No, 1/10th of an US Gallon is 378.54ml
There has never been a 440ml beer can produced in Poland; 500ml is now the standard size, 330ml beer cans have pretty much vanished and a few
250ml and 560ml cans have also been produced. 440ml is pretty much a size used only in the UK, although Norway has recently issued several 440ml cans.Rob
