Steins and Tankards
Beer stein glasses feature a distinct handle to prevent you from warming your favourite beers with your body temperature! These iconic glasses have become synonymous with beer festivals and events such as Oktoberfest. Steins, mugs and tankards are ideal as promotional or corporate gifts, or as traditional Oktoberfest steins for events!
Steins can trace their origins back to 14th century Germany. These unique glasses have been made of a wide variety of materials over the decades such as silver, wood and glass. Traditional steins feature lids, which were supposedly used to keep diseased flies out of drinks during the plague.
Our beer steins can be customised to fit your brief! Apply any logo, branding or print of your choice to create ideal promotional merchandise or Oktoberfest steins for your next event. We offer a pre-production proof of concept on all of our orders before they enter mass production.
