Mass (em alemão: Maß) significa literalmente "medida" e é uma velha unidade de medida austro-bávara, que originalmente referia-se a 1,069 litros de volume, usada tipicamente para medir cerveja. Do termo Maß originou-se a expressão Maßkrug (plural: Maßkrüge) ou seja, caneca de cerveja de um litro. Hoje em dia usa-se simplesmente a abreviação Maß para referir-se a uma caneca de cerveja de um litro. O uso desta caneca é mais comum no sul da Alemanha, principalmente nos Biergarten (jardins cervejeiros) e nas cervejarias da Baviera.
