GERMAN BEER STEINS

German beer steins became popular in the 14th century when the Bubonic Plague required that everyone have a personalized drinking mug with a cover for sanitation purposes. The lid helped keep bugs out of the beer, and it was usually made from pewter with a lever you pushed with your thumb to access the beer. The beer mugs were made from earthenware and had a variety of design elements like family crests, people, holidays, celebrations, occupations, hunting, and animals. Today you can find beer steins made from porcelain, ceramic, pewter, wood, silver, crystal, and glass with simple designs all the way to colorful, intricate, and lavish themes.
