ARLINGTON, Texas — The Texas Rangers and Budweiser raised a glass — a very, very big glass — to celebrate America’s 250th birthday in record-breaking fashion.
The two teamed up on Saturday to claim a Guinness World Record for the biggest glass of beer ever created. A massive beer stein standing 12 feet tall and holding 600 gallons was filled in a plaza just outside Globe Life Field ahead of the Rangers’ July 4th matchup against the Detroit Tigers.
The filling process alone took close to two hours to complete. Once finished, an official Guinness adjudicator who was on-site reviewed and certified the new world record.
The achievement topped the previous record of 550 gallons, which had been set back in 2014 by Stod Fold Brewing Company, a brewery based in Halifax, United Kingdom. That record had been tied to the Tour de France bicycle race held that same year.
