Beer Stein Collector

The reasons people have for collecting Beer Steins vary from person to person. For some people, it’s the Beer Stein that is the person’s hobby or interest. For other people, it is just a matter of decorating a cretin room, table, fireplace, or bar room. For the serious Beer Stein collector, it is a passionate interest and, if done with prudence and the proper research, it can be a worthwhile investment. Whatever your reasons for purchasing a beer stein, we hope you get pleasure from it for many years to come
The word "stein" comes from the German language. The foundation of the word is either from "Stein Krug" (stone jug or mug) or "Steingut" (stone goods). Beer Steins are mugs used for drinking the all time favorite beverage beer! They can be made of stoneware, pewter, wood, ceramics, crystal, porcelain, silver, or glass. They have a handle and a hinged lid; are decorated and sometimes hand-painted. They may be new, antiques, reproductions, or limited editions. Beer Steins often have a theme such as Christmas, wildlife, dogs, military, sports, game fish, and many other themes. There may also be several Beer steins in a series, within a theme. People often engrave dates on the lids of Beer steins to remember special occasions, such as birthdays, anniversaries, sporting events, weddings, and retirements. Beer Steins originated in the 14th century. With the onslaught of the bubonic plague and several invasions of flies in Europe, Germany mandated laws to necessitate beverage containers to be covered for sanitary reasons.
