A champion is born!

A massive congratulations and Prost to the winners of yesterday's 2026 Hofbräu USA Lenny Coyne Memorial Masskrugstemmen Championship: Audra Stillabower and Henry Thomason!

In the women's division, Audra represented Brauhaus Schmitz incredibly well, holding strong for an awesome 5 minutes and 37 seconds to bring home the win!

In the men's division, Henry represented the Krause's Cafe and notched another win for the New Braunfels , holding for an amazing 26 minutes and 47 seconds and setting the new Hofbräu and New York State men's record!

Please join us in congratulating these two amazing competitors, as well as the rest of the Steinholders from across the country who did NOT make it easy on the new champions, including women's division runner up Susie Berry representing Dino’s Pub and men's division runner up Glen Goggins representing Hofbräu Bierhaus NYC who both had some of the best holds of their Steinholding careers!

Thanks to Hofbräu USA for putting on this great event and inviting us to join in on the fun! And the German-American Steuben Parade Committee of Greater New York did a beautiful job again this year with the parade and the Central Park Oktoberfest!

If you want to see the full results for all of the Steinholders and watch both of the competitions in all their glory, check out our website here: https://usstein.com/hofbrau-results
