Is it just me, or are French beer cans getting smaller?With Kronenbourg 1664 releasing a 33ml can, you get as much beer for your Euro as you would Coca Cola.
In England, Stella Artois have introduced the aluminium 'demi...'
250ml - a French 'half' - in a can costing 75% of it's fatter brother.
I've grown used to the French stinginess concerning their delicious lager. If you go to a cafe and order 'une biere,' you end up with a pathetic 'demi,' which is barely enough to quench any man's thirst. Only if you order 'un baron' do you get a real measure. A germanic litre in a glass that you can barely hold in one hand.
I'm worried.
The French have already got us Brits beat in the moderation stakes because their youth isn't out on a Friday night getting into fights, committing casual sexual assaults or vomiting in the bushes. All we need now is for them to be drinking less than us and Britain is well and truly screwed.
Stand up, France. Stand up for your 50cl steins and your barons. Stand up for hot days and cool, frothy nectar than pours down our throats like bubbly honey.

That's just wrong. I am going to head downstairs and grab a tall can of Guinness (500ml) to protest!
