Beer Shrinkflation
I think I’ve always bought this beer in bottles or had it on tap in Puerto Rico. I didn’t look closely at the box when I grabbed it at Total Wine. These are 10 ounce cans. I don’t believe I’ve ever seen that.

Ha! Try to fit an actual US pint (16 oz) into ANY "pint" glass anywhere in the US. For at least 20 years now...
14.5 oz to the very rim.

And when you do get an actual pint glass, it looks huge and you think there might be 18 or 20 ounces in it.
