I love Oregon - More green than you know what to do with, huge mountains, rocky beaches - and maybe soon - honest pints in the pubs.
It is astonishingly uncommon in the US to actually get a pint of beer when a 'pint' is ordered in a bar. Most places use pint sized glasses with thick bottoms that make a glass full to the brim (with no foam) as little as 12 - 13 oz, rather than the 16 for a full pint.
A bill being discussed by the Oregon House will, if approved, allow pubs that serve honest pints to display a decal displaying their full pints (Read Oregonian article here). This way, there is no cost to other places that want to keep pouring fake-pints, but will encourage true beer fans to go to those places that serve only honest pints. Oregon will survive as the best beer state in the nation... I love it here.
