1980s Vintage Large German Beer Stein Hohr Blue Gray Stoneware Beer Mug, Kloster Kreuzberg Monastery Brewery, Vintage Oktoberfest Beer Stein

Fabulous extra large vintage liter Hohr beer stein, celebrating the 250th anniversary of the Klosterbraurerei, the famous Rhon Mountains monastic brewery. Heavy marked gray and blue stoneware in excellent condition! Dated 1981.

This classic vintage German stoneware beer stein is a very nice beer collectible, featuring the Kloster Kreuzberg Monastery and its 250th anniversary of beer making! The monastery is famous for its beer, which was brewed on site by the monks until about 1992. Today the beer is brewed by laypersons under the supervision of the monks. Three different beers (Dunkel, Pilsner and Hefe-Weizen) are produced year 'round and a fourth (Weihnachts-Bock) is available during the Christmas season. 

The smooth gray stoneware is screen printed with a detailed line art illustration of the monastery, framed with hops in the corners. It includes the celebratory anniversary text:

250 Jahre <250 years>

Klosterbrauerei <Kloster Brewery>
Kreuzberg / Rhon
1731-1981

It weighs just under 2.5 pounds when empty, a beer stein for the strong beer drinker! It measures 7.5 inches tall with a 3.75 inch mouth, and is 6 inches wide to the handle end. The side has an impressed liter mark with the stein manufacturer name, "Ku F Hohr". The bottom has an impressed "Made in Germany" mark. It is in excellent vintage condition with no chips, cracks, or scratches to the logo art. This is a very hard to find vintage stein in this extra large and heavy size, perfect for any vintage barware or vintage beer stein collection. A great gift for the beer lover, and a fun vintage Oktoberfest mug!
