German Beer Stein History
Steins actually date back to the 14th Century. As a result of the bubonic plague and several invasions of flies throughout Europe, Germany established several laws in the 16th Century requiring that all food and beverage containers be covered to protect their contents. The steins combined a lid, hinge and thumblift so they could easily be opened with one hand. Steins have retained their popularity around the world because of their practicality and their wide variety of designs.
