British Makes Better Beer
Sunday, November 30th, 2008[01:59] {ralphp} Depends on the gallon size, donnit?
[01:59] {flapjackboy} But then, we have to factor in that a UK gallon is more than a US one.
[02:00] {ralphp} Ayep.
[02:00] {furryhelix} I think yahoo might be up to a bit of wishful thinking. ![]()
[02:00] {adunaphel} RalphP: Uk gallon on is around 4,5litres and US gallon 3,7litres if I remember correctly
[02:00] {ralphp} Naw, I got it backwards, FH.
[02:00] {ralphp} 3.88 litres for US gallon.
[02:00] {ralphp} Has to do with the UK using 20 ounce pints, 8x, for a gallon.
[02:00] {pinkfreud} so about $6.50/gal in the UK?
[02:00] {ralphp} Instead of the rational 16 ounce pints, 32 ounce quarts, 128 ounce gallons.
[02:01] {ralphp} (Why, yes, powers of two for the US measures. Interesting that, especially since it USED to be the Imperial measure … )
[02:01] {flapjackboy} But that means we get more beer per pint too

[02:01] {pinkfreud} lol
[02:01] {geeksoldier_} that must be why pints in Britian are much more satisfying.
[02:01] {adunaphel} flapjackboy: and that all the matters after all
