Up to the late 19th century coasters made of wool felt were used in taverns across Bavaria. They not only soaked up moisture, they were also used to cover the glass while sitting in a beer garden to keep out falling leaves and unwanted flying guests.

The invention of less expensive coasters made of paper around 1880 marked the end of felt coasters. Nevertheless, to this day Bavarians call coasters of all kinds “Bierfilzl” (beer felt).

In keeping with the old tradition Graf & Lanz have re-created Bierfilzl in 5mm thick, natural wool felt from Germany. They are handsome, sturdy, and durable, and are sure to protect your surfaces with timeless style.
