Are you strong enough to outlast all others? Let's put that to the test. The game is simple, hold a 1 liter glass stein filled to the brim with liquid and with your arm parallel to the floor. Once your arm bends or you spill/drop the stein, you will be removed and the last person still standing wins. Registration is that day at the beer trailer.
