If you order a Hoegaarden, the BIG glass is a pint - no more than a pint. The small glass is a half pint. Lots of bars and restaurants will try to rip you off by serving the small glass as a pint, and most servers (who don't bartend) actually think it IS a pint because it's so heavy.
There's one bar in Van that tried to charge me $11 bucks for the big Hoegaarden on the premise that it was somehow bigger than other imports. It's just thick glass is all.
