HB 1 Liter (34 OZ!) Glass Mug
Memories and thoughts of the Hofbräuhaus or Oktoberfest Munich are automatically linked to the Maßkrug. And because the glass steins are so popular in Munich, they are named after the Isar, the river that flows through Munich. Anyone who has ever been a guest at the Hofbräuhaus or visited the Wies'n shall never forget these massive, rustic glass steins. The Maß holds one liter of beer - alternatively there is the "Halbe" (0.5 liter) for a little thirst. The Isarseidel were used in Munich from the end of the 19th / beginning of the 20th century and replaced the ceramic mugs. The reason was that with ceramic mugs you could not check whether they had been filled properly. Whether on the terrace or in the good room: With an Isarseidel you always have a good portion of beer at hand - and for the hot summer days we recommend a mug made of ceramic, because in it the beer stays cool and fresh longer. Cheers! Height: About 8", Content: 1 Liter
HB Beer Boot 0.5 liter
Boot-shaped drinking vessels have a very long tradition. In Europe, this particular glass shape already existed in the Middle Ages. The shape of the boot comes from military boots, as they were worn until the 19th century. From these real (worn) boots was drunk at that time either as a punishment, or as a test of courage. Today, people like to drink from the beer boot in a merry circle. The difficulty with drinking from the boot is that a vacuum forms as soon as only the foot area is filled with liquid. If you then fail to compensate for the negative pressure by turning the glass evenly while drinking, the beer suddenly shoots out of the glass into your face.
