Hofbrau Stein Hoist Regional Finals at Timothy O'Toole's Pub
Winners Will Advance to U.S. Championship in New York City
Timothy O'Toole's Pub, now celebrating 30 years in Streeterville, will host the Hofbrau Stein Hoist Regional Finals on Thursday, August 4. Say "Prost!" and enjoy one of O'Toole's 48 craft brews on draft while watching the beer-lifting competition from 6-8 p.m. The top competitor from each division (men's/women's) will advance to the U.S. Championship in New York City, and ride on the Hofbrau float in the Steuben Parade this fall. The winner of the U.S. Championship will receive a trip to Munich!
The Bavarian sport of “Masskrugstemmen” translates loosely to the lifting of a liter mug of beer. The “Masskrug” is a 1-liter stein that is to be held with one arm, completely stretched out and parallel to the floor. The goal is simple: hold the stein up as long as possible. It’s a balance between the right technique and strength as the full 1-liter “Mass” weighs about 5 lbs.
