We are very excited to be partnering with Moerlein Lager House of Cincinnati as the host venue for our 2024 Ohio Steinholding State Championship Finals! The best Steinholders from across the state will come together at Moerlein on October 12th, 2024 (competition times TBD) where the winners will be crowned the 2024 Ohio State Steinholding Champions and will each receive over $500 worth of prizes!
There are a limited number of spots available for the finals and you'll need to compete at one of our Qualifying Venue partner locations (listed below) to qualify for the finals and get your shot at the big prizes.
1. Festivals, breweries, and bars across Ohio are hosting preliminary qualifying rounds! The winners from the men's competition and women's competition at each location will be invited to represent their qualifying location at the Moerlein Lager House Championship Match. The different venues are listed below along with the dates and times for each competition. If your favorite venue isn't hosting a competition, tell them to get registered so you can join the fun!
