Of the 'pints' I saw some were marked with a 'half-pint' mark but I don't know if you used one of these you would actually get half a pint of beer of would you get a quarter of a litre (250�mL) with enough froth to reach the 'half-pint' mark. If it was the former of these, it might be advisable to order two 'half-pints' please so you would get 568�mL of beer.
