1977 Bavarian Inn in Frankenmuth, Michigan

This delightful vintage postcard celebrates one of Frankenmuth, Michigan’s most beloved attractions: the world-famous giant beer stein at the Bavarian Inn. Standing an impressive four feet tall and weighing 35 pounds when empty, this oversized stein holds a remarkable 8.45 gallons, making it a true showstopper. Its surface is beautifully decorated with a detailed scene inspired by Brueghel’s Flemish Country Wedding, adding Old World artistry to its playful scale.

A man dressed in traditional Bavarian lederhosen stands nearby, giving a sense of just how monumental the stein really is while reinforcing the inn’s festive, Alpine charm. Copyrighted in 1977, this collectible postcard captures the spirit of mid-century Americana infused with Bavarian tradition, perfect for lovers of travel history, novelty postcards, or Frankenmuth memorabilia.

This postcard would look great framed, make a wonderful hostess gift, or make an excellent addition to any collection.
