Get your drink on with an epic Warhammer beer stein
Hey Warhammer Online fans! Are you looking for an awesome stein to quaff your favorite ale from, while tearing it up in PvP? Perhaps your tastes run more to the Mountain Dew side of the road? Whatever your particular drink of choice is, Mythic has you covered with their Order of the Griffon and Raven Host stoneware steins. Offered in Epic (pictured) and Legendary style, these collector's steins are covered in the art of Michael Phillippi or Eric Polak, depending on if you pick the Order or Raven design. They also come with a code for a special in-game beer stein for your character as well. You can /drink while you drink -- very meta. Players will also get a 15% experience, renown & influence bonus for 120 minutes, which doesn't suck either.
Steins come to the EU
Good news, EU players -- now you can store your ale in a WoW stein also. 3 Point Entertainment, the group responsible for making those official World of Warcraft beer steins, has announced that they are now selling the steins overseas as well, meaning that even EU players can spend $80 on a cup that won't even fit in your cup-holder.We kid -- at $80, these things better be nice, and they probably are -- each one, we're told, is handcrafted and made of "fine grain stoneware," whatever that is. The company says that the North American sales have been very good so far, and that a few people have even bought them for wedding or groomsmen gifts. Because nothing starts a marriage off right quite like a WoW stein, yeah?Still, Europeans, if you've been waiting to get your hands on one, now's your chance. Cheers!
3 Point Entertainment releases Horde and Alliance beer steins
A company called 3 Point Entertainment has apparently been contracted by Blizzard to make some WoW steins -- yes, tired of drinking your ale out of a plain old authentic German stein? Now you can drink it out of a Warcraft-branded, Horde or Alliance themed WoW stein. As much beer as we drink, we can't exactly say we're stein connesseurs, but these look pretty well done to us. Each one features a bas-relief illustration from two artists who've done a lot of work for Blizzard, Glenn Rane and Samwise Didier, and they're made by a company called Ceramarte, apparently a big player in the "beerware" business.They'll set you back a whopping $79.99, though, which seems pricey (although it's been a long time since we went stein shopping, so maybe that's a bargain). Think we could drink our mead out of something a little cheaper, maybe a Thunderbrew-branded sippy cup?
