I drink my beer out of plain glassware, but if you're a Portal fan and prefer to imbibe out of something a little heftier, these $14.99 beer steins are for you. It's a clever little twist on Portal's ... portals, and reasonably priced to boot.

now that is really cool
Nifty. I'd buy one if I had $15 to spare.
proper way of using portal
Cute.
Hey, that might actually be worth a purchase, and I don't even drink.
I love things like this. Any fan of the game will immediately know what's going on, and anyone else will just think it's a whimsical graphic. As subtle as gaming items get.
I'm not a beer drinker, but those are pretty cool.

Oh I remember sending this in.
EPIC
I'm not a beer drinker either, but I'd buy it just out as novelty thing.
@Al Bino:
same here-ill just buy it to drink milk-no sarcasm....
Meh...
For those rare moments where you take your stein to the bar with you?
This is awesome.
x 12.
I want it.
It would be even more awesome without the tacky gold trim and the weird pockmarked rim..
Ker-ordered.
Cafepress is excused for bad mug quality, don't know what his excuse is for the crummy looking portals.
Oh. My. God.
I'm now daydreaming about how wonderful this would be to actually have portals like this in bars. If the tender does exactly as the illustration depicts...
...processing...
No sir, I don't like it.
1. I don't want the bartender/barkeep filling up the same mug I just drank out of, I want a new frosty one.
2. The mug isn't angled, I'm predicting a lot of foam and not enough beer.
3. A portal like this would be a reason to cut out the middleman. Namely, the waitress. I like the waitresses.
A definite positive would be employing the portals to allow for fewer trips to the urinal... But that leaves the question of, how do you sanitize a portal?
Do Want.
"In other words, tasty thing goes in, tasty thing goes out."
Omg, it combines two things I love!!!
/want
I gotta hand it to the Portal game creators for making it very easy and cost-effective to bootleg their IP. anything + 1 blue ring + 1 orange ring = sold, cake optional.
Sorry, but Portal is getting a bit over marketed, if that's the correct word, IMO. It should've stopped at the companion cube plushies. (As if I'm one to talk, I bought a load of Halo 3 accessories and drank some of the soda, and also got the shirts before and after launch.)
meh.
not so good, looks like something off cafepress.com.
...oh, just checking the link, and waddaya know.
It would have nice if the Stein would change the image based on the temperature of the drink. So if it was at normal room temperature, the Stein would display the spout (Blue Portal) but as the drink is being poured and the Stein adjusts itself to the drink's temperature, the image would change to the black Stein (Orange Portal) and vice versa as the mug goes from full to half empty (or half full).
EPIC WANT, thanks Maggie!
Needs a little less MS Paint.
Now you see, that's just wrong. If you don't tip the stein, that beer's just going to turn to froth and you'll barely get 1/3 of a pint in that mug.
In before "the beer is a lie".
MMMMMMMMMM BEEEEEEEEEEERR
That's one stylish mug.
since when is this called a stein? i'm from germany, and stein means stone... but we never call that stein, we call it Krug... but no one except for those nazi bavarians drink out of those things... but i would like to.. i think i'm going over to münchen ( :) ) in the hofbräuhaus and snag on or two for my beershelf...
Seems to have been taken down, pity was going to grab one of the mugs.
@Zosic:
It doesn't matter. Portal is amazing. I would love to buy one of these.
I'll wait for the model that fills up one glass when you pour it into the other.
Damnit, I was going to buy one...now they're gone...
Got mine today. Exactly as pictured.
*waits for work to be over so I can have a brew*
