Was ist im Kasten? Das ist DAAAAAS BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!!!!!

Last Friday was a glorious day for all of us Tastyboozers. The UPS man left a 2 litre bier boot on my door step from Bier Boot Haus, purveyors of the finest glass bier boots one can find here in the U.S. Needless to say, things around my house just got a whole lot cooler. Below are my initial reactions to DAS BOOT. Next week we will have a full review of DAS BOOT including action shots and a possible video of our DAS BOOT debauchery.

Initial Reactions

1. This thing is awesome. The glass is thick and I don’t think the boot would break easily. That being said I definitely wouldn’t say that it is meathead strong. If you have one buddy that likes to slam things around you might want to keep the boot away from him.
2. The boot is listed as 2 litres but it holds way more than that. One litre is roughly 33.8 ounces (thank you Google), so for you mathematically challenged boozers that is 67.6 ounces or 5.6 12 ounce beers. It took 7 12 ounce boggs or 84 total ounces to fill the boot up to the level you see in the pictures below.
3. The air bubble made famous in movie Beerfest is real. I think the movie exaggerated the intensity of the bubble but I experienced it first hand. It doesn’t blast you in the face but you will get some serious wave pool action going that makes it hard not to spill.
4. DAS BOOT is daunting. You can chug and chug and chug and when you finally go to pass it off it looks like you didn’t even take a drink.

If you have been living under a rock and you aren’t familiar with the DAS BOOT the basic rules of drinking are below.

Bier Boot Haus ‘Haus’ Game Rules

The beer boot is passed around a group with individuals taking a sip and passing to the left (unless multiple boots are in use). Once the boot is first picked up, it cannot touch the table until finished. Each player must flick the beer boot prior to and after taking a sip. The person who finished the beer boot second to last is required to refill the boot.
