| Description |
Beer Boot Set of Six BootsThis is a case of six traditional
European (German) pressed glass drinking boots. These popular boots are
always an excellent topic of conversation. 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.
Features:
- Beer Glass Type: German Beer Boots
- Boot Size: 1 liter or 33 fluid ounces
- Dimensions: 10-1/2 inches high.
- Made in Austria
- Set of (6) individual boots.
More about 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.
