Krause’s Café & Biergarten in New Braunfels has been hosting traditional beer stein-holding competitions every Friday this month. Officially called Masskrugstemmen competitions, they are Bavarian strongman/strongwoman tests that have their roots in Germany where participants hold a liter of German beer by the handle, straight out in front of their bodies for as long as they can. The last person still holding his or her liter of beer correctly wins. The Krause’s Masskrugstemmen competitions are sponsored and sanctioned by Hofbrau beer. Anyone can enter and contestants get to keep the liter stein. Entrance fee is $20. The winner of each weekly round will be offered the opportunity to return for the grand finale on Friday July 14 to compete for a chance to go to Las Vegas to participate in the Masskrugstemmen at the Hofbrauhas Vegas.
