Copper Mug Company — Copper Beer Stein for Moscow Mule (16 oz)

A copper stein, 16 ounces, taller and straighter than a mule mug, with a proper stein handle. It works for a mule and it works better for beer.

100% pure copper, solid, confirmed with Copper Mug Company. No stainless liner, no plating, no coating. Most copper steins are plated steel. They come up identical in a product photo, they weigh less than they should, the plating gives out at the rim, and they look brand new until the day they get thrown away. This one will darken to a brown-red patina over months. That change is the evidence.

Hand wash only. Never the dishwasher: detergent and heat leave it blotchy. Lemon and salt restores the shine in about a minute. Letting it darken is equally fine.

Beer is exactly what bare copper wants, along with water and spirits. A mule with fresh lime is an acidic drink and a traditional one, fine to enjoy cold, just don't let it stand for hours and don't store anything in copper.

Cold moves through a copper wall fast. Pour a cold beer and the outside frosts before you sit down.
