A beer stein is a traditionally German beer tankard or mug, made of pewter, silver, wood, porcelain,
earthenware or glassware, and usually with a hinged lid and levered thumblift. In Germany it is usually
called a Steinkrug if it is stoneware or Glaskrug if it is made of glass. What any 1-litre mug is referred to
depends on the region you are in: In Bavaria for example, it is called a "Maß" while being called "Stein" in
Palatinate. Calling it just a "Stein" is a habit of English speakers and Palatinates. The lid keeps beer from
spilling; it is extremely helpful during song and celebration where it is common...

for Europeans (especially Germans) to swing their arms with beer in
hand. The lid started out as a sanitary measure. During the summers of
the late 1400s, central Europe was repeatedly overwhelmed with swarms
of flies.This soon led several principalities in what is now Germany to pass
laws requiring food and beverage containers to be covered.By adding a
hinged lid with a thumb lift on the lid within reach of the mug handle, it
was possible to keep a beverage covered and yet open it with the same
hand by which it was held.
Etymology
The word "stein" is a truncated form of Steinzeugkrug, which is German
for stoneware jug or tankard. Stein in German means "rock" or "stone",
and is not used to describe the same object in most German regions.
The German word is Maßkrug, a Maß (German for "measure") being the
amount of fluid that it contains (1.069 litres).
