What a tankard is

A tankard is a sturdy drinking vessel, usually with one handle and sometimes a lid. People reach for one when they want a heavier, more solid feel than a normal glass gives. It is a classic choice for ale, cider and hosting friends.

The tankards you'll find here

Simple styles come first. The Medieval Beer Mug is the lowest priced, and the Stainless Steel Barrel Beer Mug gives the same barrel shape in metal. For a Norse look, try the Viking Barrel Beer Tankard, the Viking Wooden Beer Tankard or the Odin Norse Stainless Tankard.

If you want a beer tankard with a story, the Dragon Tankard Mug is the showpiece. The Medieval Knight Beer Tankard rounds out the group for people who prefer a knightly theme. You can pair any of them with the rest of our tavern collection.

How to choose a tankard

Pick the material that matches how you'll use it. Stainless steel is easy to wash and tough, while wood adds warmth but needs gentler care. If you plan to drink from it often, check the product page for capacity and whether it is meant for daily use or display.

Prices on this page run from $61.97 to $99.97, and most designs land near the top of that range. They also make easy gifts for anyone who hosts dinners, Renaissance fair trips or game nights.

Care

Wash by hand with warm water and dry the tankard fully. Keep wooden pieces out of the dishwasher so the finish stays smooth.

From the tavern table to your shelf

A tankard is a large drinking cup with a handle, built to hold plenty and survive a lively table. Mugs and tankards overlap, and the main difference is usually the heavy look and old-style shape that a tankard has.

People buy them for gatherings, themed parties, holiday dinners and home bars. They also make an easy gift for a fan of Norse tales, a gamer or a friend who hosts game night, and a pair of matching tankards looks great on a shelf between uses.
