On the 200th anniversary in July of the passing of the Weights & Measures Act 1824, which defined a pint in British and Irish law for the first time, CAMRA is urging all political parties to back a change in the law to guarantee a full liquid pint, not including the foamy head. This comes after studies by the Chartered Institute of Trading Standards found 86% of beer was short measured and the law leaves consumers with no recourse if refused a top up. CAMRA BEER magazine
