The Bottomless Stein
This is a plain wooden beer stein, of a roughly standard Old Imperial size, that is always full whenever it is grasped by a living hand. The beer it provides is always of a high quality, but changes randomly each time it is used—lagers, ales, and even microbrews have been reported. However, any attempt to pour the beer out into any other container inevitably fails, and it will immediately become empty if upended. The method of its filling is unknown—Archmage Alaric Vogelkopf uses it as proof of his speculated Elemental Plane of Beer—but the mug’s plainness, the random nature of the liquid within, and the drink’s inability to be shared have led it to be regarded as a curiosity.
