Description

Beer Glass Type: Machine Made Pressed Glass German Beer Boot
Size: Holds one liter of beer (about 34 fluid ounces). Shot glass holds 1.5 oz.
Dimensions: 11 inches high.
Detailed Description: This is a set of our one liter pressed glass beer boots and beer boot shot glass. The set contains (2) one liter beer boots and (1) shot glass.

The secret to drinking from the boot is to point the toe sideways. When the toe is pointed downward, the boot cannot be easily emptied. When the toe is pointed upwards, the liquid flows out of the boot very quickly and uncontrollably, usually spilling all over the drinker.

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 all our beer boots from Germany, Austria and other parts of Europe . We sell only 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.

	DAS BOOT DAS BOOT DAS BOOT
	DAS BOOT RULES!!! These things are solid as hell! They hold about 3 cans each.

	Great, Quality Beer Boots!
	I got the idea to order a few sets of these for my groomsmen before my wedding... and I was amazed by the quality! I was worried the beer boots would be thin and fragile but each boot is very thick, and very well made! Even the shot glasses turned out wonderful, a miniature version of the full size (no handle like in the picture). Sure to be a huge hit! Thanks so much!!

	Great Groom''s Man Gift.
	I gave this to my grooms men, they loved it. We''ve enjoyed the 2 liter boots once or twice, and when I saw these I knew I had to get them. The one liter is the perfect gift, so everyone can have there own. Now I have to order another set for me and my wife.
