House Bill 3122 "better known as the Oregon Legislature’s “Honest Pint Act.” passed through the house at a close vote of 34-26 and is now off to the senate . The honest pint act is not about creating new laws ,but about creating a standard for a pint of beer, not 12 or 14oz but a true 16oz pint .The bars that establish themselves as a bar that serves a true pint would get a sticker in the window that states they serve a Honest Pint.
