The tradition began in the 1800s, when a German military officer promised his troops he would drink beer from a boot if they were successful in battle. His soldiers won the battle, so as promised the officer arranged for a victory dinner and had a glass boot made for the occasion. The soldiers reveled in their victory by chugging from this infamous glass boot. Drinking from das Boot has evolved into a tradition enjoyed by many. Drinking das Boot is about sharing the joy of life among friends. Customarily, the person who fails to finish the boot pays for the beer. Das Boot Haus Rules 1. There must be at least 4 friends for the 2 Liter Boot or 5 friends for the 3 Liter Boot. 2. Das Boot should never touch the table - it's considered BAD LUCK. 3. Please do not toast das Boot with another glass - they are very fragile. 4. Most importantly, always point the toe towards heaven! Just remember the whole point of das Boot is to celebrate responsibly with friends and have fun, not to make a fool. Prosit! (choose from any of our draft beers or non-alcoholic selections)

Since 1950, the mayor of Munich has marked the official beginning of Oktoberfest in the Schottenhamel beer tent each year by tapping the first keg of Spaten Oktoberfest beer. The hops presence of this amber lager hits at the beginning and end, but is subdued by the rich, full-bodied malty profile this beer is famous for.
