Think you have what it takes to outlast the crowd? 🍺💪

The ARktoberfest Steinholding Championship is officially back, and it’s time to see who has the ultimate strength and stamina. The competition will be fierce and the rules will be strictly upheld. One man and one woman will be crowned the winners! Practice throughout the event at the Masskrugstemmen booth, but bring your A-game for the championship! Those brave enough to compete will keep their commemorative 1 Liter glass stein filled with beer- better not drop it!

A massive thank you to our amazing community partner, Anstaff Bank, for sponsoring this year's championship and helping us make it happen.

As a reminder, this competition ticket is an event add-on. If you plan to participate in the craft beer tastings as well, you'll need a general tasting wristband. Early Bird pricing is only live for a few more days, and prices will increase next week!

Secure your spot in the lineup, save a few bucks, and support the Backpack Food 4 Kids program all at the same time.

👉 Grab your Steinholding and Tasting wristbands before the price increase:
