BIER! Grab Your Masskrug, Oktoberfest Is Coming To NYC!

The First National "Masskrugstemmen" Championship will be held for the first time this year at "Oktoberfest in Central Park" on Saturday, September 19 the same day of the German-American Steuben Parade. A "masskrug" is the litter glass stein from the Oktoberfest in Munchen. It's not a beer drinking contest, but rather it is a test of strength and endurance!

Contestants stand side-by-side in line, a full masskrug of fine Hofbrau at the end of their outstretched arm, and the last man/woman standing wins the contest; the Bavarian version of the Hot Dog Eating contest! Contestants who have won regional contests across the country will be flown to NYC from Las Vegas, Miami, Cleveland, Milwaukee, Pittsburgh, and other cities to attend the Oktoberfest in Central Park (September 19th, 2 pm) and will compete for the National Title. The first prize is a trip for two to the beautiful city of Munchen, where the winner will be given a private tour of the legendary Hofbrauhaus, and of course be treated to dinner and possibly a bier or two!
