Local celebrities go head-to-head in annual pretzel eating contest at Hofbräuhaus Las Vegas, Saturday, April 25
Seventh annual event in celebration of National Pretzel Day returns with $1,000 charity prize and ceremonial Maibock keg tapping
Hofbräuhaus Las Vegas celebrates National Pretzel Day with its seventh annual celebrity pretzel-eating contest, bringing together local influencers, media personalities, and entertainers for a salty showdown. The winner will score ultimate bragging rights, a $1,000 donation to their charity of choice and the honor of tapping the first keg of Hofbräu Maibock.
A rich, seasonal brew imported from Munich, Hofbräu Maibock is one of the oldest Bavarian beers, with a deep color and flavor and an ABV of 7.2%. Tradition states that the first barrel of this full-bodied brew must be tapped the last week of April in time to be enjoyed for the whole merry month of May. Even though it’s only around once a year, it is always worth the wait!
