Sign up now for Oktoberfest's ULTIMATE Test of Strength

Last Updated 9/1/2026

đŸ’ȘđŸș Think You’ve Got What It Takes to Become the Bavarian Arm Burner Champion?

Dust off your lederhosen, stretch that stein-holding arm, and prepare for the most gloriously unnecessary test of strength, stamina, and sheer stubbornness at Saline Main Street’s Oktoberfest!

The challenge is deceptively simple: hold a full stein straight out in front of you for as long as humanly—or Bavarianly—possible. No bending your elbow. No lowering your arm. No pleading with the judges. Just you, your stein, and the increasingly questionable decisions that brought you to this moment.

Will your arm shake? Probably.
Will your dignity survive? Unclear.
Could you become an Oktoberfest legend? ABSOLUTELY.

The champions will walk away with a swag bag from Salt Springs Brewery, supreme bragging rights, and, most importantly, the deep satisfaction of knowing they outlasted every other brave soul foolish enough to challenge them.

Space is limited, courage is required, and dramatic grunting is strongly encouraged. Register now and prepare to feel the burn—Bavarian style!

This competition will be held on FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 18th at 5:45 pm (before the Tapping of the Golden Keg)

All are welcome!! There will be a Men's Category & a Women's category this year - sign up for the one you feel matches your abilities best.
