“Prost! (or Cheers!). We’re a pair of vintage tourist German shot glasses of Herrenchiemsee known as the ‘Bavarian Versailles,’ & Berchtesgaden, a German town in the Alps. Why our fun boot shape? According to Oktoberfest Haus: “As the story goes, a military commander in the German army promised his troops that, should they succeed in battle, he would drink beer from his own boot; thus a beer boot. Upon victory, he commissioned a yard of ale shaped like a boot to avoid the taste of his own footwear.”

Probst! I've drank bier from many a German boot. lol Thankfully, all glass and ceramic!! I grew up in Stuttgart and have been blessed to see both of these lovely places but never knew the origin of "Das boot" story. Danke Schoen!
