“Masskrugstemmen,” translates loosely to the “lifting of a liter mug of beer” (leave it to Bavarians to condense those seven words to one for the sake of convenience). Masskrugstemmen is a well-known and competitive Bavarian sport, right up there with masskrugdrinkin (we’ll let you work out the translation). The “Masskrug,” a 1 liter Stein, is held with one arm, completely outstretched and parallel to the floor. The goal is simple: to hold a filled stein for as long as possible. Sounds easy, right? It’s not, but consider the gauntlet thrown, as you have now been officially challenged to enter one of our Masskrugstemmen Contests to be held in the Oktoberfest Bier Garten Friday at 8:00pm, and Saturday at 8:00pm. Each night’s winner will receive a $25 Visa Gift Card.  Pick up ENTRY FORM at Beer Station
