What does SEIDEL mean in Scrabble?
noun
A large mug or glass used for serving beer, typically holding about half a liter or more.
The seidel takes its name from German drinking culture, where beer halls traditionally serve lager in a sturdy glass or stoneware mug of this size. A seidel is usually plainer and less ornate than a stein, though the two words are sometimes used loosely for the same kind of vessel. Bars that lean into a German or Bavarian theme often list drinks by the seidel to signal a generous pour. The word reminds drinkers that the glass, not the beer itself, is what the name describes.
How SEIDEL is used
Used mainly in descriptions of German-style beer halls, menus, and drinkware.
