<p>In Madeira and possibly also Portugal, the most popular size is a balau, ie a baloon at 30ml.
Large glasses can quickly get warm. There is also a fino at 20cl.</p>

<p>Beer sizes in spain are aptly explained in <a href="http://matadornetwork.com/nights/order-beer-spain/" rel="noreferrer">http://matadornetwork.com/nights/order-beer-spain/</a> (copa, cana, tanque, jarra, etc.)</p>

<p>In portugal, similar sizes appear but I've only heard of <code>imperial</code> and <code>caneca</code>. </p>

<p><strong>Are there other sizes of beer in Portugal/Spain?</strong></p>
