Olympic Beer Steins
Who knew that Budweiser produced beer steins for the Olympic games? I ran across this web site that sells the steins for each Olympics since 1982. It’s kind of an interesting niche. It’s hard to tell which are the best sellers because “sold out” is only indicative of the results if the original numbers available are the same. Nonetheless, take a peek and tell us your favorites.
By the way, beer steins are popular all over the world, but still most popular in Germany. You’ll usually find them made of pewter (as above), silver, porcelain or glass and often highly decorative. And a little bit of trivia to impress your friends at the pub: the hinged lid on the beer stein was invented during the age of the Black Plague, to prevent disease-carrying flies from getting into the beer.
