What is a German beer mug called?
1 Answer
A German beer mug is called Bierkrug or Maß (for a one-liter mug). The large beer glasses are called steins. Maß is a double-walled glass drinking vessel that holds 3 average beers for an American. The vessel itself weighs in at over 2 pounds so when it is full, you know you have a large serving of beer. On 1stDibs, shop vintage and antique beer mugs.
