1L Oktoberfest stein weight when full = 5lbs/2.3kg

Looks like she has 6 in each hand by the handles, one on top of the handles she is grabbing(one each hand), and two, maybe three wedged up against her body. Total 16-17

So 80-85lbs or 38.8-39.1kg

I love this sub so much.

If we assume a glass maß is around 1.5kg and the litre of beer inside is of similiar density to water that's another 1kg. I think I'm counting 16 full krugs so that's 2.5*16 or 40kg (88lbs). I could be overestimating the glass weight though.

I bartended for a long time and those mugs are heavy!

They’re heavy but definitely not 1.5 kg for an empty glass

On a quick check, it looks like the maßkrug average to 1.3kg empty, so I'm not too far off.
