Tankards are a type of drinking vessel that have been around for centuries. They are typically made of metal, ceramic, or glass and come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Two common types of tankards are steins (6 letters) and MUGS (4 letters). Steins are usually made of stoneware and have a hinged lid, while MUGS are usually made of ceramic and have a handle. Both steins and MUGS are popular for serving beer, ale, and other beverages.
