SIGNATURE DRINK: The Boot
Find it: Hessen Haus, 101 Fourth St. Info: 288-2520, hessenhaus.com Cost: $19. Stop by during happy hour weekdays from 11 a.m.2 p.m. for $10 boots or 3-6 p.m. weekdays for $15 boots. This boot is made for drinking, and that’s just what you’ll do if you order this 64-ounce glass boot filled with the draft of your choice. A bier this big comes with some haus, er, house rules. No fewer than three people can drink it, for example. And, if you break the boot, or if it “goes missing,” it’ll set you back $50. On the bright side, the drink comes with its own game: Passing The Boot. Everyone in your party passes around the behemoth beer and takes a swig before handing it off to his/ her neighbor. If you don’t abide by the rules, you’ll have to drink another sip. So, you see, losing might actually be better than winning in this game.
