How to care for your beer boot

Alright, now that you’ve got your beer boot home you’ll need to know how to properly care for it.  First thing to do is to wash and rinse it before use.   Here’s what to do:

1. Hand wash the beer boot with mild dishwashing liquid and a clean sponge.  Use hot water and clean thoroughly.
2. Next, rinse thoroughly with clean water.   
3. Let the boot on a towel in a safe place and allow it to air-dry.  Never place a fragile beer boot in a dishwasher.  It could be broken, damaged or left with an unwanted residue that could affect flavor, aroma and head retention of the beer you pour into it.

Now that you’ve got a clean and dry beer boot, add beer and enjoy.  Don’t bang the boot around or smash it down on a table.  It’s made of glass after all and doesn’t like being treated roughly.  Drink responsibly and have fun with your new beer boot.  Treat it well and you’ll be able to pass it down to your grandchildren some day. Maybe they'll have a chance to sample Das Boot just like you!
