Gift from YouTuber - German Beerstein

[Nachito667]

Hey Craig, you should try to get a brew house kit like the one your stein was packaged in, their made in coquitlam, BC. Their more expensive than coopers but come as the pre-made wort, you actually don't have to add anything, unless you want to, and no need to boil or even heat up. I'm brewing their Pale Ale right now. Cheers!

Hey craig your not gonna believe me but my dad has the exact same stein. My mothers side of the family is from germany and my grandmother (his mother in law) used to bring them back to him when she went to germany. im 34 so she probally brought them to him in 80's or late 70's /I grew up looking at a very nice collections of these steins. The cell on the mug that i undoubtly recognize is the inn scene. yhanks todd.

Nice bierkrug Craig ,the lids are great for keeping out wasps and other flying bugs ,these are good to use in beergardens since they keep the beer cold and stop it from getting "sunstruck " in bright sunlight ,I'm off to Germany tomorrow bound to see loads of these ;)

[eyepatchinc]

that's a really nice stein. by the way i'm German & they'd would pronounce it either "schtein" or "stein" depending on their accent-just as people in the states have regional accents, probably in Canada to, eh? :)

my folks have a couple steins similar to that & they've never drank out of them. good to see one actually being used for its intended purpose here!

[OPE08]

My Dad has two dozen or so of those collected over the past 50+ years... never have taken a sip out of any of them...

lol...now that I think of it I have only ever used the 5$ pewter mug that he bought me in Solvang...

[eyesofnova]

man Craig, I've always wanted one of those.

Thanx for sharing =) Its beutiful!

Beer stein is an English neologism, so it's pronounced however you want to pronounce it. Germans don't use this word It's either a Humpen, Bierkrug, or Steinkrug.

The German word Bierstein, which literally means beerstone, is something completely different. (It's a hardened biofilm that forms on a brewing vessel, if you don't clean it thoroughly between batches.)

[CraigTube]

Why do you suppose it says "Beerstein" on the tag? Is that an older word from when this was made?

[AstAMoore]

The tag is in English, and from what I remember (I watched the video a few hours ago) it was a pretty good translation, clearly done by a native speaker of English. So the translator used the English word.

It's pretty common for non-native words to be invented or borrowed from another language with a completely different meaning.

Babushka, for example, doesn't mean a headscarf in Russian. It means an old woman or grandmother.

Na zdorovie means "you're welcome" and not "to your health."

[AstAMoore]

Here's an even better example. The English word "knight" came from the German "Knecht," which has a totally opposite meaning ("peasant, servant"). The German word for "knight" is "Ritter," which gave us the word "rider."

[t2thei]

actually we call these things "bierkrug" (pronounced "beerkroog").

nice thing!
