Steve and I have made quite a tradition of attending Starkbierfest every year. We love this celebration, Steve loves the dark winterbier that the monk drinks and we always have SO.MUCH.FUN. This year was no different and it was terrific to have Stefanie, Dominic and Dominic's friends Conall and Charles with us. Our friends Denise and Rob and their daughter Tasha also joined us for the fun!

The night always starts out calmly enough in the huge beerhall at Lowenbrau Keller.

There are two contests at Starkbierfest. The strong man contest and Miss Starkbierfest. To qualify for strong man you have to first lift 250KG (over 500 lbs). Dominic tried to do this two years ago but couldn't quite make it but this year he did it!
So up on the stage he went with a lot bigger competitors!

The first few competitors couldn't lift the competition stone. They measure the distance off the ground in centimeters. Then Dominic got all the way to 18.6 (a little higher than our photo). For the next few competitors he was solidly in the lead. But then the big guys stepped up! Still we were impressed Dominic had the strength to get that far!
Stefanie also tried for Miss Starkbiefest. Usually the crowd votes but this year the Bavarian band behind her voted, which she didn't understand. Obviously the women who played up to them in their speeches took the prize! But impressive she got up there and spoke German to the crowd!
Stefanie and her friend Tasha danced all night long!
And we did too with Tasha's parents!
