Chainmail Beer Stein: Pour Me a Flagon of Mead!

Posted in: Today's Chili

If you are looking for a new mug or stein to drink beer from while you watch Game of Thrones, here it is. This is a stein that Eddard Stark or Jamie Lannister would be proud to gulp their mead from. It is made entirely from chainmail.

You have to be a big tough guy to drink from this since it weighs about 5lbs. and stands 7.5 inches-tall. Every drinking session will be like a workout with this thing. And yes, since it is made of chainmail, your beverage is just going to leak as fast as you pour it in. Though you could just put a pint glass inside of it to solve that minor design flaw.

Besides, it looks great just as a decoration.

The Ultimate Medieval Beer Helmet Holds Two Flagons of Mead

Posted in: Today's Chili

There’s nothing more obnoxious than one of those guys with a pair of camouflage party pants and a hat that you can sip beer out of. But leave it to the geeks of the world to make drinking beer from a helmet just a little cooler.

Instructables contributor DucttapeNinja decided that the tacky sportsfan beer helmet needed a proper LARP-ing, and created this beer-sipping helmet thats’ based on Gimli’s helmet from the Lord of the Rings movies.

I can honestly say this is the first time I’ve seen armor that provides both head protection and ready access to alcohol – which is always a good thing to have around should you find yourself on the losing end of an axe fight.

DucttapeNinja thinks his helmet design could easily be applied to any helmet you’d like, so you could go for anything from a Beerba Fett, to a Sh*tfaced Spartan to a Daft Drunk with the proper helmet, and DtN’s Instructables beer helmet tutorial in hand.
