Pint Cups & Beer Steins

A beer cup made of steel does something a glass cannot: it keeps the last mouthful as cold as the first. The Stay Chill Stein holds 0.71L, which is 24oz, or up to two cans, with double-wall vacuum insulation that keeps beer cold for 7 hours, or 30 hours with ice.

It has a heavy duty handle rather than a slim grip, so it is a pint you can carry across a garden one-handed without concentrating. Dishwasher safe, and it will not shatter on a patio.

Worth knowing: the same insulated pint tumbler works for mulled wine, tea or soup, though it holds hot for around an hour rather than all day. Cold is what this one is built for.

Stacking Tumblers

The Stacking Tumbler holds 0.47L and does one thing nothing else in the range does: it stacks infinitely. Six of them take up barely more cupboard space than one, which is the difference between owning enough for a party and owning enough for two people.

Double-wall vacuum insulated, so it holds cold for 4 hours or 15 hours with ice, and it comes in more colours than anything else here. Dishwasher safe, 18/8 steel, and it will survive a dropped-on-decking incident that would end a glass.

Note the size honestly: 0.47L is 16oz, so it is a generous glass rather than a full British pint. If you want 568ml and change, the Stay Chill Stein above is the one.

Fast Flow Jugs, for Serving a Crowd

When you are pouring for a group rather than a person, the Fast Flow Water Jug holds 7.5L, which is two gallons, behind a high-flow spigot that comes out for cleaning. Punch, sangria, cold brew or plain iced water for a garden full of people, without anyone queueing at a tap.

Double-wall foam insulation holds cold for 13 hours, or 48 hours with ice, so it can be filled the night before a party. Leakproof, with rugged latches and a handle built for carrying it full.

Classic Hip Flasks

A hip flask is a different object from the vacuum flasks we are better known for. Slim, flat, sized to sit in a coat pocket or a back pocket without announcing itself, and made for spirits rather than tea.

The Classic Easy Fill Wide Mouth Flask holds 0.23L, and the wide mouth is the point: filling a traditional hip flask usually involves a funnel and a certain amount of waste. Stainless steel means no flavour carried over between fills and nothing to break if it goes on a hillside with you.

Shot Glass Sets

The Adventure Pre-Party Shot Glass + Flask Set pairs four nesting stainless steel shot glasses with a 0.23L flask. The glasses stack inside the carrying case, the flask holds enough to fill all four, and the whole thing slides into a small bag.

The argument for steel over glass here is simple. They will not break if you drop them, which matters at a festival, on a bike ride, or anywhere the floor is not a floor.

Built for Life, Built to Last

Barware takes more abuse than most drinkware, because it goes where people are least careful. Steel copes with that in ways glass cannot: nothing chips, nothing shatters, and nothing gets left in pieces in a field. A hip flask bought now is one you can still be filling in twenty years, which is a genuinely different proposition from the glass and plated alternatives it competes with.
