The glass-size problem
Why 440ml stout deserves its own glass.
A 440ml can and a traditional pint glass were never designed to finish at the same point. That small mismatch changes the entire look of the serve.
The missing 128ml
A UK imperial pint is 568ml. Most canned stout is sold in a 440ml format. Pour one into a standard pint glass and there is a 128ml difference before the shape of the glass and the head are even considered.
The drink is not too small. The vessel is simply larger than the package it came from, which can leave a good stout looking unfinished.
A full-looking pour matters
Stout is a visual drink. The contrast between its dark body and pale, creamy head is part of the experience. When the proportions are right, the head sits close to the rim and the glass looks complete.
The 440 Stout sample measures 475ml brimful. That gives one 440ml can room to form a generous head without making the finished serve look lost.
Why the tulip shape?
A narrower base, fuller body and gently tapered rim create a familiar stout silhouette while keeping the capacity focused. The goal is not to shrink the occasion. It is to make the can, liquid and glass feel like they were designed together.
