Show us you favorite stein.

we have a few folks who bring pewter mugs to our biergartens. they're typically a nightmare to fill. foam like crazy.

 

I made a stein in middle school shop class. A few years later a brother knocked it off the mantle with an errant football toss. He made me a replacement when in middle school, but dropped it while walking in the house. So this is my favorite stein…

 

Lol. I think stein means rock so no go and note I was just the victim twice

 

Nuts! The picture is gone. Your brother is baaad news.

 

I was waiting for someone to do this

 

Nuts, your picture expired. Or maybe you didn’t use Imgur or Postimage.

Sorry, can't figure out how to upload the image. I will if I can figure it out.

The stein I have is one that depicts the headquarters of the Jos. Dudenhoefer Co. in Milwaukee, ca. 1905. There is a collection of barrels in front of the building. It is marked as a "souvenir." It's a beautifully crafted German stein. It's all a bit odd, because it's a beer stein, and Dudenhoefer was a wine importer and whisky (and bitters) blender.

Here's the catch: this building was in Milwaukee--to be precise, 913 S. 16th St. It burned down only a few years ago. I was conceived behind the window on the second floor, left. I spent my first 3 years there--at the time it was a rather squalid apartment house. The former Dudenhoefer tasting room was a dive bar (Spruch's). We finally moved away--I was too small to remember the details of the place, but family photos portray the grim reality. My mother told me many years later that I cried when I was under the impression that we were about to return there (our new place was much nicer).

I found the stein on eBay, and in summer I like to have a beer, sipping from it and contemplating the improbability of it all...

 

Interesting story. I'm looking forward to seeing a pic of your stein.

Here's a link to a thread that should help you figure out how to add a pic to a thread. I hope it helps.

Is this the stein?

Enjoy

 

I spent a little time working with the Munich police department a few years ago. They gifted me this when I was at their headquarters one time.

 

Yes, that's it, many thanks for posting!

 

Don’t get cute. We know that’s actually you with your steins!

 

This .5L beauty is Jugendstil from 1900. Very gently used. Simple, groovy tang, lovely design, feels just right.

 

My wife bought this stein for me years ago, possibly before we got married. The knight’s (or whatever the dude is on top) sword is broken and it’s basically impossible to get a replacement figure. I know nothing about steins but I think it’s kind of cool.
