OKTOBERFEST masskrugstemmen competition at
Bierhaus NYC every SATURDAY Oct 2nd-23rd at 7PM!

“Masskrug” translates to one-liter stein of bier and “stemmen” translates to lift. Masskrugstemmen is a Bavarian feat of strength where contestants hold a one-liter bier stein with one arm, out in front of them and parallel to the floor, for as long as they can. This isn’t your typical drinking game. 

Bierhaus NYC holds their very own Masskrugstemmen competition every Saturday at 7 PM from Oct 2nd-Oct 23rd. Two bier stein holding competitions are held, one for the women and one for the men, but people of any genders are welcome to join either group. The winners from each week will each receive a cash prize of $150!

So how exactly does this competition work?

Well, there are a few rules that must be followed in order to keep yourself in the game.

— THE RULES —

1. A one-liter stein of Hofbräu bier (weighing about five pounds) must be held using one arm, completely stretched out and parallel to the ground. Elbow must be locked, no bending!





2. The stein must be held by the handle.


3. Thumb cannot be on top of the handle.


4. The opposite arm must be straight down by your side, not supporting the body in any way.


5. There is no switching of hands.


6. Any spilling of bier is an automatic disqualification.
