Nice HB stein.
there was a time , very late '60's , early 70's
If you were of a certain age , you brought back a HB stein from Germany.
mine was opaque , light grey . 1 L . no idea where it is now ..
did HB switch to glass ? the glass is much more attractive , id say.
I also remember being in Austria , at a nice ' road house ' having dinner w my family
and a gentleman , clearly a regular , one table over , dinning alone , had a large bowl of
smoke pork chops ( thick cut ) , a similar bowl of parley potatoes , same again of spaezle ,
and a bowl of something green. Large bowls all. he himself was both large and round.
he washed this down with 3 1 L HB steins , of the variety I was bringing home ,
( the stein up graded college dorm room decorations to ' cool ' , as it did mine )
then the gentleman , a very large gentleman , walked out of the restaurant , unassisted.
the first 1 L HB went down with out pause.
I vividly remember this .
