Excellent!!! I was way too conservative.

And they're not 'beers' Cam - they are litre mugs!! Check out her biceps!! I'm guessing the whistle is the eq of a pair of Fiamms - 'Get the fuk out of the way!!'
 
If she said jump, I would ask her how high and what are you doing later😂😂😂Oh to be young again knowing what we know now 😂😂

a lot of the load goes into the chest actually, as she is leaning back a bit to center the overall weight. You need strong arms, lower arms, hands, neck and back to do that even once. But think of them doing an 8 hour shift (at least) and never walking slow, having to deal with drunk or ignorant people that stand in their ways, with guys touching them etc. - it is not really a very nice job and they have a lot of issues (feet, back, knees, mental issues with what they see and have to go through). It is well paid though and they can earn a really good money in only 18 days with all the tips etc. (between 3.500 and 20.000?, depending on which tent you are working in, the weather etc.).

I have tons of respect for what they do every day. Physically, it is one of the hardest jobs in Germany though.
 
I once witnessed a waitress in a dirndl being grabbed by a drunk man (she couldn't defend herself because she's had her hands full).

I did admire her reaction. She turned off the beers as cool as a cucumber in order to then give the offender an exemplary blow to the jaw.
He recoverd hisself on the floor ...

Hello Jo,

that must have been a lady beyond 40... the younger ones normally are to shy to do that... but great reaction! He got what he asked for.  :D
 
Blimey. In Australia we have workplace health and safety guidelines around manual handling loads. While there's no legal limits for manual lifting, employers can be held accountable if they ask their employees to lift things that are too heavy for them. Employees are within their rights to refuse to lift things they feel uncomfortable with. The last employer I worked for set an upper limit of 16kg for women and 23kg for men. Those weight limits are not uncommon in the Australian workplace.

I presume a beer waitress wouldn't last long in that job if she refused to lift more than 16kg.

I'm wondering if the beerfest organisers receive many compensation claims for back injuries etc.
 
What Thomas does not tell us but you can see, it is about half the weight- thats their business  8)

Fake news! - Don't tell a monkey about bananas ...

One liter is exactly 4 cm below the top edge of the beer mug, where there is also a marking and a circumferential ring for checking.
When the waitress starts, the beer is still 2-3 cm below this edge. The entire upper area is filled with white beer foam for this. If this foam collapses after a while, the level of the beer in the glass rises again.

If a waitress only delivered half full beer mugs, she would run into real problems.
You can be sure that exactly 1 liter is filled in for competitions, which together with the jug makes 2300 grams.

p.s. From time to time we brew ourself beer. It takes about 8 hours to get about heavenly 180 Liter Beer. Of course, it takes a few weeks for the beer to mature.
 
8 weeks to mature but not long for it to disappear!!

And assuming beer is similar on weight-volume as water, die Maasen must weight around 1.3kg each empty!! Seems a lot to me - is that right?

I had an expat German girlfriend here who hailed originally from Munchen - she was doing the beer and dirndl thing at the Oktoberfest the year some mongrel let off a bomb - she was no more than 10 or 15 metres away when it exploded.

That?s right.

In Germany, too, we have a lot of things that we don't have under control, but at least the beer mug has exactly its official 1,300 grams.

Some pictures of brewing.
The ingredients water, malt, hops and yeast cost almost nothing.

But it is a lot of work with constant measuring and stirring where you have to work very cleanly so that the beer is good and durable.

well - they do that only on Octoberfest, normally not in the normal Beergardens. On Octoberfest, the more the waitress or the waiter carries at one shot, the more she/he can deliver and the more they earn money. It is not that the boss of the tent asks them to carry that kind of weight, but they would loose money if they don't. So - if you can double your income by carrying double weight around - how would you decide...?  ;)

A friend of mine (the one mentioned in #28) did this several years and yes, the more turnover they knock out to the people the better the earnings were ?
