"These boots are
made for drinking"
Size: 1 Liter
Drinking out of a
"Bierstiefel" (Beer Boot) is a German tradition that some say dates
back to the 14th century in Heidelberg, Germany. It’s said that
fraternities would compete against one another in saber duels and after the
competition was over would get together and drink out of their boots.
Another theory is that soldiers
would pass around a leather boot filled with beer before engaging the enemy in
battle. The tradition dictates that one should flick the boot before and
after drinking from it to bring good luck. A glass version of the boot
was employed during World War II where American soldiers were introduced to the
tradition.
