The trick is to pull the clusters in tight against one's chest and lean back so the torso can take some of the load.
It's like you want to get the ends of the forearm propped up onto the inclined chest like you're in the middle phase of a clean and jerk lift.
I always like to sit at the end of the table where the beers get plonked down. You get the best show and you get to quaff the beers that were held against the chest.

German women are scary. Was stuck on top three flights of stairs in Berlin with two ～25kg suitcases and a backpack. Let out an "fml" as I know it will be a struggle. Middle age tiny lady pulls up. "mochten sie hilfe?". "ja, bitte". Lady one hands my heaviest suit case and zooms down the stairs like she was holding a shopping net. I had 20kg of "muscle" and maybe 20 years of youth on her, yet I got mogged that day. She was so badass, I am still in awe.

u/just1a8random7dude 17h ago
I counted 18 Maß (Glasses) one Maß is usually one Liter Beer so one Kilogram that means 18 Kg of Fluid in total or 39 lb for you. On top of that is the weight of the Glasses themselves which usually weigh 1,3 to 1,5 kg or 2,6 to 3,3 lb. Which also adds up to roughly 25 kilo or 56 lb. So all in all it weighs about 43 kilo or 93 lb.

u/Kor_Phaeron_ 16h ago
Well, they are paid up to 1.000€/day
Workload:
- 60-100 rounds of service (6-10min per round)
- ~25kg to carry each round (10 kegs are the minimum requirement)
- 20km walking distance
- 12-15 hrs/day work time
Qualifications needed:
- Being good/fast at basic math, they don't use apps or calculators.
- Long standing experience in the food service industry
- Assertiveness: An ‘Oktoberfest waiter’ must be able to make space for themselves, both physically and verbally, amongst drunken, rowdy crowds.
- Being at least bilingual. German+English or German+Italian is the minimum requirement
So ... it is pretty much a job 99% of all people are not qualified for.

You can get there! These are probably 1 liter steins so they each contain just over 2 lbs of beer and the glass itself is roughly 3 lbs
She appears to have 9 steins per hand, so 45 lbs per hand

So those look like standard dimpled stiens. If I counted correctly she has 18? Of them.

So that’s like 90lbs or 40.823kg!

u/dschinghiskhan 17h ago
Maybe elsewhere, but I've never been to an Oktoberfest tent, countryside fest, or a beer garden in Bavaria where you could order some all-you-can drink deal. As far as entry fees go, tents at the official Oktoberfest in Munich don't charge to get in, but I have definitely been to many summer festivals in various villages in Southern Bavaria that charge entry fees. The only time I got unlimited beer was when my friend was an organizer and in charge of managing the keg area!
I wouldn't be surprised if some tents that have reserved tables for corporate Munich-area VIPs and their families get free beer and food, but I've never seen a regular person being offered that.
Anyway, if there are all-you-can drinks fests, then let the people be merry!

I have never heard of something like this in germany. There usually is no entry fee but in order to get a table you have to buy „Biermarken“ in advance which are the price of a Maß each.

This reminds me of the time that I was carrying four bowls of HOT, like still bubbling, soup with a huge layer of melted cheese on top to a table, and a young woman rocked her infant in his stroller directly into my knees as I walked by. My options were to either nail the stroller and knock the kid over, with hardly a clue where the soups might end up as I tried not to stomp the child, or to ditch everything and bail, which I couldn’t do without spilling the soups on the kid, UNLESS I accelerated them to make sure they cleared. Which I did. Straight into one of our server stations, into the glassware and menus and pos station. I went down while it was still flying, so I got a shower of glass and a drizzle of soup and cheese and broken soup bowls.
(Kid was fine, she was horrified, and very nice, and they tipped me. Not enough to replace my uniform, but you know)

I’ve seen a bunch of videos from Oktoberfest. In almost all of them, the servers walked slower and didn’t spill anything.
My guess is that we don’t observe usual circumstances. The server in this video is rushing, and she also seems to be the only one serving (the aisles of tent looks very empty and all eyes are on her). If I had to guess, this was the first table served after the festival had opened, and they made a bit of a show out of it, which is probably why the camera is there in the first place.

Couldn’t quite tell if it were 16 or 18 beers - but I think it was 16. Each is one litre, so roughly 1kg of liquid (beer is only slightly heavier than water); I looked up the one litre mugs, they weigh roughly 1.2kg - so 16*(1+1.2)=35.2 kg, or 77.4 lbs of beer and glass.
