  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?

      You are correct, my bad! Thanks for pointing it out :)

  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”.
