It’s not a dumb question, but you’re presuming standards and exactness that do not exist in practice.
A pub pint is a pint glass that is deceptively smaller than a full pint, usually about 14oz. That’s all it is. This can is the same as a pub pint – both in spirit and practice – as far as I can tell.
Yeah, I am German, so we definitely take measuring (and beer) a bit too serious.
When I was younger, I learned that there was a tolerated margin of error, something like the package may say 200 mL, but it actually only contains 195 mL at times.
This absolutely makes sense in retrospect, but at the time, I was genuinely surprised that this was not something we measured at mL precision. They need to provide that whole ingredients list and nutrition table, so just measuring how much is in the package felt like the easy part.
