It's also a rip-off at US off-licences, at least judging by the prices of 12-packs at Harris Teeter in Pentagon Row - Stella bottles contain just 11.5oz vs 12oz per bottle of Pilsner Urquell, yet they charge the same price. I do like Stella (bit crisper-tasting in bottles than on draught, as a rule), and when you're pub-crawling in London and feel like a proper lager it's the easiest to get, but come on....

Closer to home, they used to have Stella in the 300's at Nationals Park last season (at the bar now selling Budweiser American Ale and Dominion)...this year the new caterers have taken it off and the only imports available in the 300's are Pilsner Urquell (Base Line Brews in outer concourse behind 314; supply sometimes erratic) and Heineken and Dos Equis (in bar next to the mini-Ben's Chili Bowl in the same general area, on the inner concourse - often not open).
Actually Stella is in 11.2 ounce bottles.  Though in North America most drinks are sold in 12 ounce (355ml), in Europe 11.2 ounces is common (330 ml which is close to 1/3 of a liter).  Magner's hard cider also comes in 330 ml bottles.


Delicious stuff, though not beer.
