Ah, actually it does know some buttloads, but you have to be more specific,

> 1 brbeerbutt in pints
approx. 1037.620 pint (volume)
> 1 winebutt in pints
approx. 1007.994 pint (volume)

though it doesn't match the 6 seams amount:

> 6 seams in pints
approx. 3689.318 pint (volume)

It also has these which are rather more useful, as they're still in
regular use today:

> 1 brfirkin in pints
approx. 86.46839 pint (volume)
> 1 kilderkin in pints
approx. 172.9367 pint (volume)

no assload though.
