Did you know "Das Boot" is actually an American term for the boot-shaped b**r glass? It was popularized in the U.S. mainly by the 2006 comedy movie Beerfest. But if you say "Das Boot" to a German speaker, they’re more likely to think you mean The Boat! The real German word for this iconic drinkware is Bierstiefel, which literally translates to "b**r boot."
​Whatever you call it, you can enter to win one from Weihenstephaner! Fill it with b**r, fill it with change, or heck—put a hearty house plant in it. We'll be pulling a winner for this bootylicious prize in late October.
​Enter to win on our Portland in-store tablet! 🍺👢
