- _ph_ 6y agoRight. They are calles a Mass (or a Masskrug). While "stein" is a German word, it isn't used in German for the glasses[1]. The German term is "Krug" or "Bierkrug", or in the case of 1 liter, a Masskrug. In the Oktoberfest time you can find bundles of a 1l can of Oktoberfest beer and the fitting Masskrug in the supermarkets. For Oktoberfest, special charges of beer are brewed. To compensate for the large servings (1 liter) it is even stronger than normal beer at about 6.5%. So the inexperienced should be careful with that, or they are going to make experiences. Been there, done that! :) 1) I would expect the name comes from "Steingut", which is a ceramic. It was traditionally used for making beer mugs, but today, mostly glass is used.
