Like many serious beer nerds, I collect glassware. But this one-of-a-kind, chainmail beer stein made entirely of ringlets of galvanized steel is one of the most unique beer steins I’ve ever seen. Of course, you wouldn’t really want to attempt to drink a beer out of it because it’s full of holes. It’s not for sale, anyway; its creator spent more than a year designing and building the five-pound, 7.5-inch tall stein, so he/she probably wouldn’t part with it without a (sword) fight—or an exchange of significant funds.
Still, that thing would make a worthy addition to any beer nerd’s glassware and/or tchotchke collection.
