How long can you hold a beer stein?
Seriously.
Two minutes? Ten?
'Cause it's a legit sport.
And it's coming to Chattanooga this October.
Been practicing at home. I'm a rightie, but I've got a hiccup in my pickleball elbow, so I've been training with my left hand. And with a Mason jar, which feels like altitude training.
So far: two minutes, easy.
But I sure can't match these guys.
Steinholding is real US sport these days. It came where Germany, where it's known better as — big inhale here — or Masskrugstemmen. According to the US Steinholding Assocation:
For all you Popeye-forearms out there, now, it's your turn.
For two Thursdays, Pruett's Market is hosting big Oktoberfest parties.
Each party, there's a stein-holding competition.
On Oktoberfest Night One — Thursday, Sept. 24 — there's a beer stein-holding competition, along with brats, sauerkraut and Oddstory Brewing Co.
Night Two? It's Thursday, Oct. 1. Another competition, more brats, and this time, Hutton & Smith will be there.
This is not to be confused with stein-carrying, another German sport, where competitors carry — think egg-toss energy — a full stein over a marked course.
Or rather, in the case of these guys, full steinssssss.
Our good friends at Pruett's Market throw a fine party.
You may even see this guy. We're more into wine holding, actually.
Hope everyone's having a good week.
Keep practicing ... because here's who you've got to beat, according to that US Steinholding Association:
Cody Bane, who holds the US Men's National Record at 29 minutes flat.
And Taylor Handy, the US Women's champ, at six minutes, 10 seconds.
