Rockford, Michigan's Wolverine is kicking off a new boot tailor made for bartenders.

Wolverine has joined forces with New Holland Brewing for launch a limited-edition boot inspired by the brewery's Dragon's Milk Bourbon-Barrel Aged Stout.

What's even cooler is that 10% of sales from the Wolverine 1000 Mile x Dragon's Milk boot will go to to the USBG Foundation's Bartender Emergency Assistance Program.

View the actual boot, which arrives on April 6, and pre-order here. The cost? $400. Not a cheap boot, by any means, but at least a portion is going to a good cause.

"This is a fantastic partnership between two Michigan-based heritage brands highlighting our commitment to craftsmanship and the many skilled craftspeople it takes to create a unique, handcrafted product," Tom Kennedy, global brand president for Wolverine, said in a statement. "We are proud to team up with Dragon’s Milk and solidify their legendary beer into a pair of Wolverine 1000 Mile boots."
