This is not a cane, or how this popular format has been disappearing from all the bars in Madrid

The article discusses the decline of 'cañas'—small-format beer servings (200–250 ml)—in Madrid’s bars. Traditionally, these were a staple in local pubs, but they are now increasingly replaced by larger portions like doubles or cups, which allow bars to charge more. The piece notes that many establishments no longer offer cañas, especially in certain neighborhoods and outdoor terraces, where they seem to have disappeared entirely. This shift reflects broader changes in drinking habits and pricing strategies within the hospitality industry.
