Hofbrau Stein Hoist Events at Timothy O'Toole's Pub

Timothy O'Toole's Pub is excited to announce they will host Hofbrau's Stein Hoist competitive events this July. The four Chicagoland locations will offer a chance to participate in the regional beer-lifting competition that may ultimately land the winner in New York City and Munich, Germany. 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. Each of Timothy O'Toole's locations will offer a men's and women's hoist division (simply sign up the night of the event, 21+). Steins, shirts, prizes and swag will be distributed.
