#DASBOOT BEERFEST MOVIE#
We don’t want to give much more of the plot away, but the rest of the movie is basically a series of beer-filled face-offs that culminate in a final battle between Germany and the United States. This brew-mance tells the story of two brothers who travel to Munich’s famous Oktoberfest to scatter their father’s ashes on the famous Theresienwiese.Īfter becoming the center of an Oktoberfest scuffle the brothers find themselves taking part in an underground drinking tournament known as Beerfest…and this is where the boots come in. If you hadn’t heard about Das Boot from any of the above, you may have become familiar with the drinking boot tradition from the 2006 movie Beerfest. Who needs streaking through the quad when you have sweaty-foot beer? Back when leather footwear was introduced, soldiers, club members and other social groups would encourage their most unsavory member to take off their shoe, fill it with beer and serve it to the new recruits as a test of loyalty. There is also the one that may just be the originator of hazing. The soldiers would flick the boot before taking a swig for good luck, and again after to wish the next soldier good luck.
Well, they did, and since the general wanted to make good on his word without discovering what his own feet tasted like (or spoiling the beer) he had a boot made out of glass for easier drinking.Īnother story declares that German soldiers in World War I would pass around a leather boot filled with beer due to lack of glassware. The most popular belief is that a Prussian general promised his troops that he would drink from his boot if they came out victorious in battle. That’s a good question and one with a couple of different theories. Das Boots are also known as Beer Boots or Bierstiefeln. At Hofbrauhaus Las Vegas, our own Das Boot has a story that has helped many guests drink happily ever after.Īt our Haus Das Boot is pretty much what it sounds like: a drinking vessel shaped like a tall boot (It has nothing to do with the 1981 film of the same name, which actually translates to The Boat). From Cinderella to the woman who lived in the shoe, footwear has spun some mighty tales throughout history.
