Glass bottom tankard
People have been drinking beer almost quite literally ever since humans have been walking the earth. Scientists and historians alike believe that the first beer was created around 10, BC somewhere near Mesopotamia, and people still drink it today. That means it is a lasting drink with a good, long history. A drink that has endured the last 12, years is a strong drink, and a strong drink should be drunk from a strong glass. A medieval tankard is about the strongest glass there is. It is a type of drinkware, usually made of horn, steel, pewter, sturdy wood, or silver, that is large and almost impossible to break.
