    Speaking for NL:

    25cl is a “Flute” locally (fluit) 50cl is a “Small Vase” (vaasje)

    If you ask for “A small pilsner” (pilsje) you’d normally get the 25cl or sometimes the 33cl glass of the beer on tap.

      I think vaasje is actually 25, maybe 30cl? (certainly not half a liter). fluit is even smaller; 20 perhaps?

    Ireland and the UK use the imperial pint in pubs. Everything else in Ireland at least is metric for liquids.

    There are various regional names for 50cl, but “pint” is common, since it’s quite close.

    In France, for beer, it would be a “baron” , while 1l would be a “formidable”.

  Though in Finland 44cl is very common as well

    That’s an interesting one, where does it come from?

      I looked into it, most places will sell “big” pints which are either 40cl or 50cl (though many craft breweries sell 44cl cans). I couldn’t find an exact reason for the 40cl pints, but apparently they became common in the 90’s due to recession and price increases and such. Beer in restaurants, bars and pubs is quite expensive here in general
