Product Description

This limited edition beer stein was made to celebrate the 425th anniversary of the Hofbräuhaus (HB) brewery in Munich, Germany. The front features a large pewter medallion with the HB crown logo and text Hofbräuhaus München Seit (since) 1589. A beer maiden with HB branded mugs frothing over with beer rests on a golden laurel. Two plaques honor Wilhelm IV Herzog von Bayern (4th Duke of Bavaria), founder of the German purity law (Begruender des bayerischen Reinheitsgebotes) and Wilhelm V Herzog von Bayern (5th Duke of Bavaria), founder of the Hofbräuhaus in Munich (Gruender des Münchner Hofbräuhauses). The left side shows a scene of the Hofbraeuhaus beer hall and the right depicts the HB building in Munich both framed by hops and wheat.

Why This Stein?

Germansteins.com takes pride in the fact that we offer only the best quality decorative steins, beer glasses, and mugs. What sets this stein apart from some of our other products is the amount of detail you get for the relatively modest price tag that is attached.

It is not uncommon to find steins comparable to this both foreign and abroad for double or even close to triple the price! In addition with this particular product, you will receive a Hofbrauhaus certified 425 year certificate of authenticity that proves that this is one of the few products actually endorsed and produced directly for the HB Brewery.

The stein’s artwork depicts a scene of the Hofbrauhaus in Munich, Germany. The focal points of the mug are the two plaques honoring both Gruender des Münchner Hofbräuhauses (the founder of the Hofbrauhaus Brewery) and Wilhelm IV Herzog von Bayern (the creator of the German Purity Law of 1516).

You will notice that for added decoration and style, a beer maiden has been strategically placed holding two liter beer mugs that are overflowing with everyone’s favorite frothy, golden, nectar of the Gods.
