First citing appears to be only pewter and plated brass tankards, very
common, esp. in England. Second citing appears to be only glass
glasses. Aluminum is required.

Greetings! I found stainless steel, I found pewter, but I could find
no aluminum except one: I sent an email to the supplier.  He sells
decorated 'pewter' tankards.  I asked for his supplier and will answer
you if he answers in the positive for over 20 ounce tankards.

Will no other metal do?

It has to be aluminum--nothing else will do. Several versions have
been marketed. Some were very plain, used as bar give-aways and cheap
engravable gifts. Some were a little more elaborate, horizontally
ribbed and anodized grey, some with painted black handles. It may help
to side-search for a tankard ice bucket. That item was looked like a
tankard but was larger and fatter, with a plastic insulating liner
inside. The company that made those ice buckets made matching
tankards, as well, and sold them as a set. It has to be a true factory
source, though, because I need them in quantity.

The first item fits your qualifications, except that it is one pint.

I have searched many sources. If you would accept it as an answer,
please reply.

I also came across this manufacturer:
