“Masskrugstemmen,” which translates loosely to the lifting of a liter mug of beer, is a well-known
and a competitive Bavarian sport. The “Masskrug,” a 1 Liter Stein is held with one arm,
completely stretched out and parallel to the floor. The goal is simple:

To hold a filled stein as long as possible!
