Gambrinus, the legendary beer king and patron saint of beer, is widely known in Europe as the creator of beer. The figure depicted on this glass also symbolizes Gambrinus. Beer Boot (Bierstiefel): A traditional German beer glass shaped like a boot. It is often used at festivals and banquets. Usage: Used for drinking beer, but also recommended as a collector's item. Thank you for viewing. I purchased this about 20 years ago while living in Belgium. It has been displayed in a showcase since purchase, so it is unused. There are no cracks or cloudiness, but I would appreciate it if you could judge from the photos. I also have other beer glasses and antique items for sale, so please take a look at my profile.
