I have a cheap one. it looks to be like 2 liters. that's alot of beer. I don't remember where my wife bought it, but it was like ten bucks. just a plain boot, nothing written on it. big ugly seam on each side, so i'm not too worried if it gets broken.

I've got a 2L one. Got it on CL for $20. A guy got it as a gift for his groomsman and forgot that one of them doesn't drink so a 2L glass wouldn't make much sense. Its a really beautiful one like this: http://www.pubglasses.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=PG&Product_Cod e=5673&Category_Code=BEERMUGS I've never actually used as I'm way to afraid to handle it after drinking 2L of homebrew. It just sits pretty upon my collection of beer glasses I've accumulated.
I know there are several good beer glass websites out there. I think any of them where the 2L size is around $60 or so should be a hand blown, high quality piece. There are cheaper pressed boots out there which are tougher, but not works of art and just look cheap.

I've got a real yard glass(really 3ft tall) and I also refuse to actually drink from it. I cannot drink that much beer.

I got a couple of cheap 2 liter ones I got as gifts and then I have a real one that is .5L with a bravarian crest of some sort... I like to bust the that one out every once and a while but not so much the 2 liter ones as that can be alittle much.... but hell they look nice

There used to be a couple of German import stores in the neighborhood that I grew up in that I bought boots from. I have a 2L DAB boot, a 1L boot (I can't remember what label is on it), and I even have a boot shot glass.

I drink out of mine when I have friends over, makes for good times
I'd like to have a 1 liter boot, seems just big enough to be obnoxious but small enough to actually be useful

Drinking from the "Stiefel" is a brotherly act, you should share the two liters with your brethren.
