Pubs could soon offer drinkers two thirds of a pint

if measures are changed after a consultation exercise.

 
The National Weights and Measures Laboratory (NWML)

 is considering new food and drink measures

to give consumers more choice.

The NWML will look at introducing two thirds of a pint

 alongside current measures like half or full pints.

 

The licensed trade had called for more choice when serv ing

drinks, especially those with more alcohol, the NWML said.

A third of a pint is already a legal measure,

but it has fallen out of common usage.

 

An NWML spokesman said on Thursday:

"We are consulting over specific proposals from the pub

 and restaurant industries on the introduction

 of new measures for alcohol including

 a new imperial measure for draught beer and

cider of two thirds of a pint."

 

New figures from CAMRA show that a whopping 26.6% of pints served in pubs contain less than 95% beer. CAMRA is taking its campaign for a full pint straight to the top by launching a national petition calling on the Prime Minister to put an end to short beer measures.

Full Pints Key Facts

  • 26.6% of pints are more than 5% short measure
  • Short measure costs consumers £481 million a year, or over £1.3 million a day
  • Pubs serve customers 208 million more pints than they buy in

    CAMRA needs your help to ensure you receive a full pint of beer every time. Please sign CAMRA's National Full Pints Petition calling for an end to short beer measures.
