Win a Trip to 2012 Oktoberfest From Sam Adams

Boston Beer Company is holding a Stein Hoisting Contest and the winner will go to Oktoberfest 2012.

The rules are simple: hold a liter of Sam Adams Oktoberfest parallel to the ground as long as you can without spilling or dropping it.

The rules may be simple, but the hoist isn't. Keep in mind that a liter of water weighs 2 pounds.  According to Amazon.com, the stein weighs a bit less than 3 pounds.  So you have to hold 5 pounds, let's say, for as long as you can.  First place is 7:12.

Check the Sam Adams website for upcoming hoists.
