Particulaly impressive because those cut glass steins are heavy on their own, and hold a full liter of beer.
Though that top one looks like a short pour. I might ask where the other half of my beer was, if she couldn’t tie me into a pretzel one-handed.

Yeah, so she’s carrying 13kg (give or take) of liquid plus whatever the glasses weigh? How much do each of those weigh by chance?

Amazon says the weight of an official HB stein is 3.2 lbs. Sounds about right to me.

Approximate 40 pounds total.
1 liter of fluid = 2.205 pounds
1 glass stein = 1 pound

Around 18Kg then, that is non-trivial.

The 1 l steins are more than one pound, for certain. From what I can tell, 3 to 4 lbs. so it should be about 45 lbs for the steins alone.

Yeah, so i guess it’s more like 31Kg all told.

I can’t really get behind subjecting workers to repetitive stress positions as a novelty. I can definitely get behind the convenience of just saying “13 beers please” like in the movies, instead of the American way where everyone orders a different beer from dozens available.

I’m glad you asked. 
I have one and put it on my kitchen scale.
1300 grams or 2lb 14oz.
Man, can you imagine?

I have two glass steins mainly because I have cats. They’re the only beverage glasses I’ve owned that the cats couldn’t knock over.
Cats are also the reason I use a small glass pipe instead of a bong.

40 pounds. We’ve all seen smallish people hefting chonker cats, seemingly without any problem.
