More about beer boot glasses:
Beer boots are a uniquely German innovation. Leave it to the worlds 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.

History of Beer Boots
The German custom of drinking from 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 movie was released.

I bought this set for my husband, just as a random gift, because every time we went to a German restaurant he would leave saying... i want a boot. He loved them... very practical since they are not huge.. fit 1 and a half beer. we both use them on Friday evenings to feel festive. quality is great. no complaints. well worth the price.

Yep - Gave these 2 boots to friends of mine that love drinking out of boots, and that just got engaged! Attempted to frost each one with their initials. The boots are quality. My friends loved them. Saving the mini for their first born!

Rating Great boots!
 
I am very happy with my purchase. These are a pint and a very nice size (think a pint glass shaped like a boot); they're not the huge size so be aware of that. The craftsmanship is nice and thick, and they are a fun conversation starter. The little boot shot glass is a great touch, and it led to an improvised boilermaker with a twist. Get them, you only live once!

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!

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.
