Punching Bag Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 Being German I have always loved steins but never owned any. We went shopping today and on our cut through road there was a man selling steins so on way back I asked her to stop there and she gave me a little money. He had quite an assortment of them and bought 4 not wanting to become a collector as well as some porcelain owls for my daughter. He had three from Budweiser Animals Of The Seven Continents Series - Australia, Antarctica and Asia for $5 each and a turkey one for $5. Not planning on selling them but looked up prices online and saw being sold for $60+ in unused condition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augie Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 This is a classic tale of how hoarding begins. You’re going to need a bigger house. 😋 I kid, and this brings back memories of some kind of stein we had in the house when I was a kid. I don’t remember where it came from or where it went, but I remember being oddly fascinated by it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punching Bag Posted December 2, 2023 Author Share Posted December 2, 2023 First time I used one in restaurant was when I was served a Glühwein (mulled wine) after waitress asked me about various spices and whether I liked them or not. This drink was complimentary and I sat by the fire drinking it when I was waiting for table to open up. Ever since then when drinks came in steins I was inclined to get them. My wife used to be a fine tailor and made costumes for a local medieval themed restaurant and they used to server drinks in steins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nextmanup Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 Only Americans call that a "Stein." In Germany, you drink beer from a "Krug." And they don't have Koalas on them. 🤷♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
