Hofbräu Masskrugstemmen Contest
What is the sport of “Masskrugstemmen”?
It is a Bavarian sport; the name translates loosely into the lifting of a liter mug of beer. The “Masskrug”, a 1-liter Stein, is to be held with one arm, completely stretched out and parallel to the floor – the goal is simple: to hold the Stein up as long as possible. It’s a balance between the right technique and strength. The full 1-liter “Mass” weighs about 5 lbs.!
Deutsches Haus will be sending 1 Man and 1 Woman to the competition in New York.
Deutsches Haus will only provide Round Trip Airfare and Hotel. All other expenses and guests will be paid by Champion Winners.
Each registration is $25 per day. Each participant will receive a HB 1-liter Stein to be used in the competition, a hat, and pin. Heat winners will receive a medal and advance to the finals on July 25.
