This is a gift I received from a kind gentleman who goes by the youtube name of HomeBrewBuff. It is a authentic Old German Beerstein. Details about it's origin are in the video.

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.)

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

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 ;)

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!
