A stein is a traditional German beer mug characterized by its sturdy construction and often decorative design. Steins typically feature a handle for easy gripping and a hinged lid, which historically served a practical purpose of preventing insects from getting into the drink or keeping the contents from spilling during transportation. They are commonly made of stoneware, glass, or pewter, and they may be adorned with ornate engravings or painted designs depicting scenes from German folklore, history, or culture.
