What are Beer Steins?
A beer stein is a lidded mug that holds beer. The handle of the mug features a tiny hinge, which when pressed with the thumb, opens the lid. This allows the user of the beer stein to open the lid with the same hand holding the mug, but to close it when he is not drinking. The modern beer stein can be made in numerous different materials like metals, ceramic or glass. The beer stein may also have numerous carvings, and many collect German beer steins since the designs can exhibit interesting variance.
