Privates Stains for Bead Drinkers in Washington
The Washington Post notes a fad of private beer mugs kept in German restaurants with separate lockers for steins. Many collectors, called private steiners, are Germans and steady beer drinkers. Mugs range from half pint to larger sizes, with German-made stems and costly decorations. One mug costs up to $20 and is crafted from fine materials. A local saloon keeper says the trend is spreading in Washington and mirrors practices in Germany where family mugs are kept as well.
