45th Festival – FIREWORKS!! Look for a great display on Friday evening after

Masskrugstemmen: The goal is simple: Lift and hold a 1 liter stein,
filled with beer, straight out with your arm level to the ground!
“Masskrugstemmen,” which translates loosely to the lifting of a liter mug of

Liter Stein is held with one arm, completely stretched out and parallel to the
floor! Sound easy? The current U.S. record is 11 minutes, 49 seconds!
