Quality Product

"One of my favorite gifts off of our wedding registry. These mugs are a must have. They can be chilled in the freezer. The design and shape are wonderful. They are very versatile and can be used for more than just beer. Perfect addition to any glassware set."

Had been looking for these forever

"Had these mugs growing up and we used them for everything -- soup, ice cream, tea, etc. I had been looking for them for years, and was so glad to find them at C&B. These ones are exactly like the ones I grew up with -- sturdy, large, easy to hold, and great for so many uses. They wash beautifully in the dishwasher. Highly recommend!"

Never refill again!

"I actually use this as a water glass - I run & therefore drink a lot of water! It is the only "glass" that I never have to refill when I drink water at nighttime. It is also so heavy that even though I am the group klutz who is known for knocking over & spilling drinks, they are now having to find other things to laugh at.... which pretty much makes this glass....PRICELESS!"

Ridic

"Have had these mugs for 15 years. Who keeps glass for that long? They are great for beer as well as hot chocolate and warm cider. Super durable. No chips or cracks. Dishwasher fabulous."

Super mugs

"I was looking for replacement mugs for my husband's birthday. We had broken all but one of ours. He always has iced tea or cola in one when he's home. These Krouvi mugs have such a nice sturdy weight and feel to them. They were just what I was looking for! Not too tall or awkward, yet with a fuller capacity than most. We've been using them daily for six months now and they have proven to be very durable.
The textured finish is a plus when coming out of the dishwasher they never show any streaks or etching. We love them!

unique, sturdy mugs

"I'm very pleased with these beer mugs. They have a unique look, but a familiar shape. They have a sturdy, strong feel to them (have a hefty weight). Great for beer, but also for other things like root beer floats."

Loved the Mugs!

"I used these mugs at a friend's house and I immediately went online and bought some for myself. I love the mugs. You can put anything in- coke float, soda, beer, -anything you want to be crisp and cold. Make sure you do not put anything warm in the mugs when they are cold, as this will cause them to crack. I am actually buying some right now as a wedding gift."

beer is always cold

"I have 6 brothers who I always struggle to by for during the years whether birthdays or Christmas. I ended up buying 6, and wrapped them up with a bottle of beer in it. They loved it. Before the new year arrived I had two send a text picture with our family slush in the mugs too. The comment was...Not only for the Beer, but our family slush too. Several of the brothers went back and added to make a complete set. They keep the beer cold and are great when put in the freezer. A great gift for a large family of brothers. Thanks!"

Big, Fun Mugs!

"I bought these mainly for root beer floats and such. They are definitely big and hefty - nice to hold. As others have mentioned, they would be really versatile for a lot of different purposes."

My favorite mugs

"I love the look and size of these mugs, and while they are great for their original purpose, I find myself using them daily instead of a typical glass. They are great for water or iced tea and so easy to hold with the handle."

Great mugs with good heft

"I bought these from Crate and Barrel a couple of decades ago after enjoying similar ones in bars in Finland. Then they were no longer available and meanwhile some of mine were broken.
The new ones I bought are very close to the old ones, with one annoying exception. The new ones have a ridge on the bottom that holds water in the dishwasher. The old ones were flat. Other than that, the new ones are great.
One thing, with all the mass of glass, you have to be careful not to take a hot one out of the dishwasher and fill it with cold water. It will crack immediately."

Poor Quality

"These mugs didn't last very long. When the first one cracked directly along the cast line I didn't think much of it. But then a second one cracked along the cast line. Sitting on the counter with nothing near it. My only guess is they didn't react well to freezing... but what's a beer mug that you can't chill?"

Great texture

"My friend got me these for my wedding even though they were not on my registry list. My intention was to return the mugs but ended up finding them very trendy and multiple functional. They are a great display for a wet bar but also work great for root beer floats. The texture of the glass is wonderful too."

used more than any other glasses I own

"These mugs are the perfect size. I know they're for beer, but we use them for all cold drinks. They're sturdy and very cool looking, and I like using a mug for a big glass of iced orange juice or mint tea."
