That kind of beer is served in 0.2l glasses historically. You can get it in 0.3l in some places, but ordering it this way shows you are clueless / not native.
Some beers here go to 0.5l, but those are the bottled ones.
0.3l for a soda is normal here, 0.5l is large, as in LARGE. This is not America…
Haha yeah you wouldn’t get any bigger than 0.5l coke and it’s not uncommon to get 330ml as in a can of coke poured into a glass. 0.5l is definitely a big coke!
In Cologne, Kölsch is traditionally served in a tall, thin, cylindrical 200-millilitre (6.8 US fl oz) glass called a Stange (“pole” or “rod”). The server, called a Köbes, carries eleven or twelve Stangen in a Kranz (“wreath”), a circular tray resembling a crown or wreath.[10] Instead of waiting for the drinker to order a refill, the Köbes immediately replaces an empty Stange with a full one, marking a tick on the coaster under the Stange. If the drinker does not want another refill, they place the coaster on top of the empty Stange and pay for the number of beers marked on the coaster.[11]
I just picked a random pub in the next city: Beer, 0.2l €2.30; Coca Cola 0.3l €3.60 - includes taxes and service.
Wait, is this a size difference thing? I’d expect both the beer and coke to be a pint (0.5l), but your beer is tiny 😆

What kind of beer is it?
It’s a local beer called Kölsch.
Thanks! It seems it’s not really intended to drink one, it doesn’t seem fair to use it for the comparison!

That is just the method to drive up the sales…
