Teams of two people will compete to see who can complete the course the fastest while carrying six filled steins without spilling.
The stein is a hinged beer mug that first appeared in Germany in the 1300’s. Primarily made of pewter or stoneware; the word “stein” roughly translates into English as “stone.”
Each stein weighs approximately 5 pounds, so each competitor will be carrying 30 pounds and will need to travel 50 feet where they will hand off to a partner to complete the race.
Presented as part of Oktoberfest Pittsburgh, a multi-day community event inspired by the annual beer festival held in Germany since 1810. The goal is to honor the rich cultural traditions of the original Oktoberfest while showcasing the best of Pittsburgh’s local talent and businesses.
