German Beer Boots History & Origin

A beer boot, or a Bierstiefel, is simply a German boot shaped glass, most commonly used for beer. The first recorded references to these glasses appear in German history books approximately 100 years ago.

The exact origins are unknown, and there are many legends associated with the boots. The most commonly believed legend is that a Persian general told his troops he would drink beer out of his boot if they prevailed in battle. After their success, to carry out his promise, the general had a glass boot made so that he could drink his beer without the added taste of his foot. The practice caught on with soldiers throughout Germany and eventually the rest of the world.

Beer boots are known for being especially challenging to drink from. Those that don’t know the secret to drinking from them usually end up showered with beer. An air bubble can form in the toe of the boot, pushing the beer up and all over the drinker. To avoid this, the trick is to hold the boot so that the toe is pointed either left or right.
