RULES
AND
REGULATIONS:
To participate in the Masskrugstemmen you must be 21
years of age and provide proof of age/identification and
sign the legal disclaimer. You must be able to
hold “The Masskrug,” (a 1‐liter
stein, filled with 1 liter of Hofbräu beer) with one
arm (left or right) stretched out in front of
the body (not sideways!), and completely
parallel to the floor. If the arm holding the
Masskrug is not absolutely parallel to the floor, the
contestant gets a warning. The contestant will be
disqualified after 2 warnings. Any spilling of
beer is an automatic disqualification. The
combined weight of the stein and beer is approximately 5
pounds.
The goal is simple: to hold the Stein up as long as
possible. Sound easy? – You might want to try it at
home.
The winner of the finals on Saturday, August 14th
qualifications at the Bavarian Grill receives a
Regional Grand Prize:
A trip to New York City to participate in the US finals,
which
will be held on September 25, 2010 as part
of an Oktoberfest in Central Park immediately following
the German
American Steuben Parade. Every year, this biggest
celebration of German culture in the US brings together
tens of thousands of people to watch music and dance
groups in original German “Tracht” as well as German
Mardi Gras groups in colorful costumes.
Hofbräu is the official beer of the German
American Steuben Parade. Germany’s most traditional
beer, served every day in the world‐famous
“Hofbräuhaus” in Munich and in select restaurants and
bars across the United States and the entire world, will
be on tap at the Parade and the Oktoberfest.
