The story behind the boot

Drinking cups from the Urnfield cultures in the shape of boots and shoes were discovered at archaeological sites as early as the Bronze Age. Over a century of history and culture have gone into the production of modern beer boots. A traditional story goes that a general promised his soldiers that they would drink beer from his boot if the battle was won. After the army won, the general had a special glass boot made to fulfill his promise without endangering his health. Beer boots are therefore a symbol of camaraderie and success. Beer boots have become increasingly popular in the United States since the release of the film Beerfest in 2006 .
