This kind of beer cup is a traditional German beer cup, which generally has a lid attached to the cup body and a handle. The texture includes tin, pottery, porcelain, glass, wood, silver, etc. There are beautiful patterns or pictures on the surface of the cup.
As for why this traditional beer cup has a lid, it is said that in the era of pestis in Europe, the lid was put on the beer cup for hygiene and cleanness. But beer cups are generally made of glass, with the volume of 500 ml and 1000 ml. In China, this kind of beer cup is generally called “Zha”. Some say it comes from the English word draft, and some say it comes from jug. But in fact, the Chinese word “Zha” comes from English jug, which refers to a pot or can with a handle. Beer cups also have flatfoot cups, but flatfoot cups generally have handles. Beer cups in Europe, especially in countries with beer brewing tradition, need different glasses due to different types of raw materials and production methods, such as beer produced by top fermentation (ale in Britain) and beer produced by bottom fermentation.
