When American brothers Todd and Jan Wolfhouse
travel to Germany to spread their grandfather's
ashes at Oktoberfest, they stumble upon a
super-secret, centuries old, underground beer
games competition--"Beerfest," the secret
Olympics of beer drinking. The brothers receive
a less than warm welcome from their German
cousins, the Von Wolfhausens, who humiliate Todd
and Jan, slander their relatives, and finally
cast them out of the event. Vowing to return in
a year to defend their country and their
family's honor, the Wolfhouse boys assemble a
ragtag dream team of beer drinkers and gamers:
Barry Badrinath, the consummate skills player
with a dark past; Phil Krundle (aka Landfill), a
one-man chugging machine; and Charlie "Fink"
Finklestein, the lab tech with a PhD in 'All
Things Beer'. This Magnificent Five train
relentlessly, using their hearts, minds and
livers to drink faster, smarter and harder than
they ever have before. But first they must
battle their own demons--as well as a bunch of
big, blond, German jerks who want to destroy the
team before they can even make it back to
Munich.
