What does una caña mean?
Expression
a small draught beer
The default measure in Spain: about 200 ml, deliberately small so it arrives cold and so you can order another. Its neighbours are the doble or tubo (bigger), the jarra (much bigger) and the corto or zurito (smaller, mostly in the north). Salir de cañas does not mean drinking a lot: it means going out.
¿Nos tomamos una caña antes de comer?
