SAMUEL ADAMS STEIN HOISTING COMPETITION
A challenging and fun event that tests both strength and endurance. This well-known and competitive Bavarian strength contest sounds much easier than it actually is.
The goal is simple. Hold a full stein at shoulder height, parallel with the ground as long as possible. If the contestant waivers (or spills), he/she is eliminated.
How long will you last?
