Seems like the part where it says it can be sold in half pints means that it would be ok to sell a half a pint.
I think maybe your comment didnt do a great job of expressing your point.
We don't have a link to the article so we don't know exactly what they're doing, but I feel it's unlikely that they've just replaced pints with half pints. Or maybe they have, that would be even weirder!
BBC has covered it too: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c4gl737zr79o
Oh interesting! The only time I've seen 2/3 pints sold instead of pints it seemed to just be shrinkflation as they were still extortionately priced, I wonder if consumption is down just because you're getting less for your money.
Yeah I've been to beer festivals and fancy pubs that do some lovely ludicrously strong beers that they can only sell you in halves or thirds, my grumble was regarding places that only sell cool-brand-name lager in two-thirds for the price of a pint.
