Beer boots are a uniquely German innovation. Leave it to the world’s greatest beer loving nation to come up with drinking from a boot! Glass beer boots are a popular German souvenir especially in Bavaria and Munich’s Okotoberfest.

The German custom of drinking for a boot shaped drinking vessel supposedly started as a German army tradition during World War I. Soldiers would pass around a leather boot of “bier” prior to engaging the enemy. It was considered good luck to flick the beer boot before and after drinking from it. Americans soldiers were introduced to the custom of drink from a glass beer boot while stationed in Germany after World War II. There is a trick to drinking from a beer boot as to not get showered with beer if the toe of the boot is pointed in the wrong direction. The American soldiers had great fun with the beer boots and the fine German beer during their time in Germany . Many of them brought back beer boots and beer steins with them on their return to United States .

Beer boots saw a rise in popularity with the release of the movie BEERFEST by the folks from the Broken Lizard comedy group. In this movie beer boots were used in a beer drinking competition that was no doubt repeated countless times on college campuses after the movies was released.

TrueBeer imports beer boots from Germany, Austria and other leading glasswerks companies in Europe. We sell the finest glass beer boots on the market from the leading glass companies like Rastal and STO.

TRUEBEER urges all our customers to please drink responsibly.

Mr.
  What a fun product! We have given them as gifts to family and friends. The quality is superior! We saw similar boot mugs on the island of Crete and wanted some. But they were TWICE the price of these from TrueBeer! TrueBeer boot mugs are a quality bargain!

Half Liter Beer Boot Set
  This set was a gift for my husband. He loves the boots, and was especially tickled by the little baby boot shot glass. The Boots are good looking, sturdy, and just the right size for a quick beer. I'm planning on getting him the one liters next.

Solid
  I was unsure how thick the glass would be, and worried a bit about them getting broken. They have been dropped on the floor a few times so far and there is not a ding or a scratch... Very satisfied! Thank you!

heavy duty
  I ordered this set as a Christmas presents, giving one big boot to my nephew and the others to my son. Like the other review said, they are a great gift for 21+ (esp guys, they are hard to buy for). They were very well wrapped and protected from breaking during shipping. I was very satisfied with my purchase.

Perfect for College students
  These glass boot beer mugs and tiny boot shot glass are great gifts for 21+ year old. Made of sturdy thick glassware. Also, TrueBeer is a great company to purchase from. They have a very good customer service department. I was very pleased with the product and the company. This was my second purchase.

Beer Boot enjoyment
  One of the good things about passing a beer boot around is the added sense of unity and fun this gives you. If you know the trick to it you can make the beer splash out in the persons face by the way you angle the boot! Much fun!
