A pint of beer at the 21st Amendment Brewery in San Francisco, CA — We'd go back to San Fran again anytime.

For that, you're going to want to know how many cups are in a pint or a quart. Also, maybe you want to know how many cups are in a gallon if you're making mixed drinks. Let's find out.

We're purely going to focus on liquid ingredients in the conversion charts below. We're skipping all of your favorite ice cream recipes, kitchen tips for dry ingredients and free printable takeaways because this is a site for measuring fluid ounces of craft beer, not kitchen conversions. Unless, of course, those kitchen conversions are for figuring out how to split a new craft beer eight ways amongst friends. Here's a cheat sheet for those liquid measurements: buy eight beers and don't split them into a fourth of a cup each.

Also, isn't every cup a measuring cup? We don't need to worry about measurement conversions when the beer glass in front us measures this most important amount: the amount of beer we are about to drink. Such an elegant measuring tool a pint glass is. That basic beer guy logic applies whether or not you are a Imperial Quarter Gallon Man or a metric third of a cup only drinker.

Growlers and a keg of beer — How many pints do you think are in those growlers?
