Kwak is an incredible Belgium beer that’s brewed by Monks, and was favored by the coach-driven in the 19th Century. At Den Anker in Cape Town, it’s even served in the traditional bowl shaped glass, which was designed to minimize spillage, while riding in a coach. The glasses are difficult and expensive to replace, so the bar tender insists that you remove your left shoe as a deposit for the glass. The shoe is placed in a basket and hoisted to the rafters of the ceiling until you’re done!

I used to require students to give up a shoe if they forgot (and needed) a pencil. Personally, I would much rather give up my shoe to drink out of one of those glasses.
