| Jul 8, 2019 at 17:14 | comment | added | Yakk | @jjj What? That link talks about Chopine's of berries. You don't have a source that says Chopine of Beer is ever used; think of it as someone saying a Bushel of Beer in US English; wrong kind of thing measured. | |

| Jul 5, 2019 at 21:48 | comment | added | JJJ | @Somewanderingyeti yea, beer lingo is going to vary a lot from place to place. Especially in the Netherlands and the Dutch part of Belgium there a lot of different beer cultures and associated terms. See this one in Dutch. | |
| Jul 5, 2019 at 21:40 | comment | added | Some wandering yeti | I'm Belgian. The standard here would be "une chope" (French) or "een pintje" (Dutch). I would also understand demi and 33, but all the others would get a blank stare from me. I've tried to google a few that are supposed to beer measures according to that table, but didn't get anything indicating that on the first result page. | |

Seidel or Seidla are only understood in some parts of Germany

| Jul 5, 2019 at 20:32 | comment | added | Jeffrey | I'm french-speaking, and no, noone would ask for une chopine de bière. More like 'j'va t'prendre une bière' ('I''ll have a beer') | |
| Jul 5, 2019 at 20:21 | comment | added | Jeffrey | If you try to order a 'chopine' of beer in Quebec, they'll either laugh you out of the bar or give you a chopine of strawberries/raspberries/blueberries as that's the only things measured in this unit. | |
