Hacker Bräu München
Level of detail on this design is incredible!
That huge, bold red letter has to be the fanciest letter I’ve ever seen!! The letter, of course, is an “H”.
Seit 1450 bestechendes brauhaus
Stunning!! There are numbers on the left tomahawk handle.
One of my favorite lids — simple but so cool!!!
The 1/2 L. capacity and calibration mark are barely visible, but present.
PAUSON clearly visible
MUNCHEN on the opposite side also clearly visible

Original Hacker Bräu München Brauerei —
These words are part of the design, bottom right:
“bestechendes brauhaus seit 1450” or “Impressive Brewery since 1450”. Indeed it is!
I absolutely love this one!! My favorite 1/2 L. German brewery steinkrug!!
Hacker Bräu München.
The stein has original brewery lid.
Check out the “Pauson” and “Munchen” on either side of the shank. See link below.
Size: The 1/2 L. capacity and calibration mark are barely visible, but present.
Check out the script for Munchen - Very Cool.
Condition is very good, undamaged, with bright colors. There are only partial, minimal signs of wear typical of its age (e.g. the finest scratches in the glaze).
Date: Approximately 1900
If anyone can provide further information, more accurate age, maker, designer, etc., I would appreciate your feedback - very much!!
Personal Note: I had to work hard and long (communication and shipping) to acquire this one. The seller made this comment: “Jorge, I am pleased that it has now worked out… You really are a crazy collector - In a positive sense!“
I am lucky to add this amazing steinkrug to my collection!
Prost!
