Vintage Schlitz Beer Steins Set of 4 “World's Finest Draught Beer”

Step back into brewing history with this set of 4 vintage Schlitz beer steins, likely from the 1960s-1970s, adorned with the iconic slogan “World's Finest Draught Beer.” Crafted from white ceramic, these steins feature the oxblood red Schlitz logo surrounded by gold with a scene of a horse-drawn carriage of beer barrels, ships, and old-timey America. This set flatters any bar cart or collection. Standing at 6″ tall, these cool steins are in excellent collectible condition - no chips, cracks, or major wear (sold as-is).

The Joseph Schlitz Brewing Company, founded in Milwaukee in 1849, gained early renown for introducing the industry-standard brown bottle in 1912, preserving flavor by protecting beer from UV light. Contrary to romantic myths, Schlitz did not donate beer to Chicago after the Great Fire of 1871, but the company’s aggressive early marketing did include building "tied-house” taverns throughout Chicago, often with the Schlitz logo molded into the building façade, such as the beloved Schuba’s Tavern. 

Whether displayed as part of breweriana, local Chicago/Milwaukee memorabilia, or mid-century advertising art, this stein offers more than beverage utility - it’s a piece of Americana. A conversation starter grounded in history, it carries echoes of Schlitz’s legacy and its architectural footprint on Chicago’s social landscape. 

Price is for the set of 4 steins.
