Part of Oktoberfest: Held during our annual Oktoberfest celebration | Check calendar for dates

Stein Holding Competition

Put your strength and endurance to the test at our annual Stein Holding Competition! This exciting event is part of our Oktoberfest celebration and challenges participants to hold a full stein of beer at arm's length for as long as possible. It's a fun, competitive event that brings together beer enthusiasts and competitors of all skill levels.

How It Works

Participants hold a full stein of beer (typically 1 liter) straight out in front of them at arm's length. The last person standing with their arm extended wins! It's a test of both physical strength and mental endurance, as the weight becomes increasingly challenging over time.

Prizes & Recognition

Winners receive prizes and bragging rights! Categories may include men's, women's, and sometimes age groups. It's all in good fun, and everyone who participates is a winner for taking on the challenge.

Oktoberfest Celebration

The Stein Holding Competition is part of our larger Oktoberfest celebration, which includes German-style food, our craft beers, live music, and plenty of festive atmosphere. It's a day-long celebration of German culture and traditions.

Fun for Spectators

Even if you're not competing, the Stein Holding Competition is entertaining to watch! Cheer on the competitors, enjoy the Oktoberfest atmosphere, and celebrate with food, drinks, and good company.
