The Story

"Beer is living proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy."—Benjamin Franklin. Our beer stein is named in his honor and hand built in classic Jacob Bromwell® style.

While beer may have its roots in Europe, the Founding Fathers brought their own recipes and started one of America's oldest traditions. And Jacob Bromwell®, being America's oldest housewares company, proudly supplied many of its beer steins to America's earliest pioneers (seriously). This year, in commemoration of our 205th anniversary, we're proudly bringing back one of the oldest products in our catalog. A copper take on the glass or ceramic variety, our stein holds a generous 32 fluid ounces—perfect for those with an unquenchable thirst for ale—and is built from solid 22 gauge copper in strictly limited, small quantity batches—in the same spirit as some of the best modern American beers. From the material to the manufacturing process to the final fit and finish, our stein is outrageously authentic and historically accurate. Plus, since copper is a natural insulator, you can sip slowly and enjoy a perfectly chilled ale. Order yours today, and raise a toast with family and friends to American history.

Imperfectly Perfect: Minor imperfections lend charm, depth, and individuality to each piece and are a natural part of the 100% handmade process. Embrace the imperfect. This is the Jacob Bromwell® way.

YOUR QUESTIONS, ANSWERED.

Is this product handmade?
Yes, all Jacob Bromwell® products are 100% hand built and are backed by our ironclad Lifetime Guarantee.
How large is this beer stein?
Our Ben Franklin Beer Stein is generously sized and holds 32 fluid ounces. Some beers, like Miller Lite American Style Light Lager Beer, come in 32-ounce cans. Tecate Original is another example of a beer that comes in a 32-ounce size.
Is the interior hot tinned?
Yes! The interior of each beer stein is hot tinned using trade-secret techniques that are proprietary to our company. Hot tinning the interior keeps each beer stein fully beverage safe and also ensures that the flavor profile of the beverage it contains is not altered.
How long will it take to receive my order?
Jacob Bromwell® ships orders Monday-Friday out of our New Lenox, IL facility. You should receive your order within 3-4 business days after placing your order.

Hand built from solid, 22 gauge copper.

Copper has been cherished by civilizations for millennia, not just for its functionality but for its undeniable aesthetic appeal. Its warm, reddish hue exudes an air of luxury and refinement that few materials can match.

Elegant yet functional design.

Featuring a dramatically extended handle that makes a statement, each beer stein is finished off with our ultra-reflective SuperPolish™ finish.

Made the "old school" way: one at a time, and by hand.

At Jacob Bromwell®, we don't mass produce products. Every Ben Franklin Beer Stein is individually hand built with over five labor hours per piece.

Branded with the mark of distinction.

The final touch is the hand-stamped Jacob Bromwell® logo on the bottom of each beer stein—not meant to stand out, but rather to tie each stein to its proud owner and begin what will undoubtedly become a long and interesting story of carry and use.
