Gamer Beer Steins

The Warcraft Dragonfights Stein is for Level-Capped Drinkers (UPDATE)

— May 23, 2010 — Art & Design
The World of Warcraft Dragonfights Stein is the surest way to spot a geek at a party. This stein comes complete with the five dragon aspects (what?) from the World of Warcraft illustrated by James Zhang. Cool...

If you set aside the nerdiness factor, then the Warcraft Dragonfights Stein is actually pretty badass. This beer stein is covered in dragons, and the handle of the stein is made of a dragon's tail! What could be more badass than dragons and drinking? The answer, my friends, is nothing.
