Even the German beers, which would normally come in 500ml bottles are reduced to about 2/3 of their size for the US market. The same with the Brit beer, Newcastle Brown Ale. Just wondered. Must be American tastes?

paulgoodman67 I suspect it's American consumer wants. There are some classic big bottled shapes though. I think you can get hold of the classic Grolsch with the stopper?

I recently moved over from the UK and was wondering if anyone could recommend a great beer? The quality seems variable.
