i think budweiser make 330ml cans they are quite small, but i think its better value to get the multipack 550ml cans- best served cold.

I Googled and found a site with George Washington's recipe (if we are talking literally about the drink small beer). It also says that if you make it the way they did in George Washington's time it will have an alcohol content of 11%! So 'way da go' to your Grandmother!

Apologies if this is not what you meant, but it is interesting nonetheless.

As I said previously, I suspect my previous post was not what you were looking for at all. Further Googling (not as painful as it sounds) found a couple of old recipes for small beer, one being ginger beer and the other had all sorts of strange things in it including dandelions. Any clues as to what your Grandmother may have used?
