Word origin
The word 'stein' originated from the German language, where it means 'stone'. In the context of a beer mug, it refers to the stoneware material that was historically used to make such vessels. Steins have been a traditional part of German beer culture for centuries, often featuring decorative motifs and lids. Over time, the term has also been adopted in the field of music to denote a unit of sound.
