imperial pint

Larger than American

An imperial pint is a unit of liquid volume used in the United Kingdom, equal to 20 fluid ounces or about 568 milliliters—roughly 20% larger than the American pint.

British pubs serve beer in imperial pints: I'll have a pint of bitter.

The distinction matters when following British recipes or ordering drinks abroad.
