beer mug

Handled drinking glass

A beer mug is a large drinking vessel for beer, typically made of glass or ceramic, with a sturdy handle.

The thick walls help keep beer cold, and the handle prevents body heat from warming the drink.

Traditional German beer mugs (Steins) often have hinged lids and decorative designs.
