You rarely see that size beer glass much these days which is a shame!

Prefer a glass of red with my pot.
A Bobby? WTF?
And if I order a pint I damn well want more than 425mL. Especially since it probably cost me about $14.

425ml is a pint, is it? I have several pint glasses in my cupboard which have been 'liberated' from various establishments over the years. The measurement on the bottom reads 560ml and the odd few read 570ml. If it aint an Imperial Pint it's not a bloody pint at all! A pot is meant to be 285ml, but I have the odd pot that is 280ml!

If you ask for a pint in QLD you get an imperial pint - 570ml.

Asked for a pot in Adelaide the other week and then immediately knew my wrongdoing. Thankfully the bloke behind the bar was kind enough to explain it all, even though I still looked at him like he was from Mars when he said it was "happy hour, $7 imperials!"
Eventually he just goes "you boys want the big one, right?" We obliged. Turns out $7 for an imperial pint (Vic 'normal' pint) is actually a very good price.

There is no way that a Victorian Schooner is bigger than a WA Pint.

Schooners are rare as hen's teeth down here. VB have actually ****ed up their own guide! Schooner would be in between 285 (pot) and 425 (pint)

Local pub used to sell pints (600ml) until Sydney dickheads bought it and threw them out. Now it's just schooners here

Explains why when we went to Adelaide a couple of years ago, I was given a middy when I asked for a schooner.

You're right. And a WA pint is exactly the same as one in Victoria. I don't know if people still get middys in WA, but that's what a pot is.
Schooner is the best size though and I say that as someone who has no state bias in the matter. Just the perfect size between the pot (honestly you should pretty much just give up if you order a pot) and pint.
Agree WTF am I meant to do with 200mL of beer GET OUDDA HERE

It's like people who have shots of beer hahah
WA used to have a "Pony" which I think would be the 200mL one.

Stupid article
Perth Pint is 570ML's. Where the hell did they get 400mls from?
Bobby? You will be glassed for less in a perth pub for asking for something smaller then a middy.

You wouldn't get glassed for asking for a bobby though. Nobody would know what the **** you were talking about.

A Victorian "pony" was 5oz (140mi, I think). Deadly in shouts

Apparently pony died out in like the early 80s – old blokes down bowls clubs and old pubs used to drink them exclusively.
