Then they usually ask "Alt oder Pils?" and I just give them a bewildered look and order an Alt. We're in Düsseldorf god damnit! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depending on the restaurant/bar/pub, they either ask you which sort you want, or just bring you whatever is on tap. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't specify the size you want, you're either asked, which one you would want or silently served 0.4 liter ( half a liter in Bavaria respectively).

Subscriber nudge+ 15,325 Posted July 10, 2022 Subscriber Share Posted July 10, 2022 For me, there are only two sizes - small (0,3 l) and large (0,5 l). Simple and effective Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Tommy 12,611 Posted July 10, 2022 Moderator Share Posted July 10, 2022 Altbier is usually served in 0,2 or 0,25l glasses. And a big one would be 0,4l. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
