This sporting event takes place in a beer tent?

Like duh. How could it not?

Germans battle in traditional “pull my finger” competition – Last Sunday in Bernbeuren, Germany, the lively tradition of “fingerhakeln” took center stage in a beer tent. In this unique sport, 150 men, decked out in traditional Bavarian attire, faced off by hooking their middle fingers through a leather loop and trying to yank each other across the table.

It’s like a high stakes version of “pull my finger,” popular in southern Germany and Austria. And it requires incredible strength—sometimes even leading to dislocated fingers!
