Show (HP- - I FOOD FACTS j by . Bob Evans Did You"know? The "Stein" derived from the German woi-d for stone. A Stein is properly speaking, an earthenware earth-enware mug of approximately pint capacity, designed for the serving of beer. Through usage, the term has come 10 be loosely applied to any beer mug of any material and capacity, some holding as much as a quart or a liter. The true Stein is well suited suit-ed for its role as a beer vessel The earthenware walls are thick, affording ample insulation insula-tion to keep the beer chilled though it be sipped slolly, or ignored for a time in the heat of discussion. Some connoisseurs connois-seurs prefer to have their Steins chilled and the beer drawn at room temperature, claiming this presents the beer at the peak of its flavor and heightens its thirst-quench ing properties. Whether this be or not, a well-chilled Stein keeps the beer colder longer. Some advanced models of the Stein equipped with, lids which are permanently attach ed by means of hinges and are lifted clef of the nose and lip by levers so placed as to fall naturally under the thumb when the handles is grasped. Stein handles themselves show the same careful thought and planning that has gone imo Stein development. They are large and easily grasped by the most unsteady of hands, there is no need for fingers to contact the chilled walls of the mug. and they afford rj firm, well balanced grip, though the Stein grows heavier heav-ier and the trip from thhe table to the mouth longer as the evening progresses.
