| World's Record A Bavarian tax inspector has demonstrated he can hold his drink better than most, by breaking the world record for the number of beer tankards carried over 40 metres (130ft). Oliver Strümpfel carried 29 litre vessels, weighing almost 70kg (154lbs) at a recent Bavarian beer festival. He would have managed 31, had one glass not fallen at the last minute, and another not lost more than 10% of its contents, contravening the rules of Maßkrugtragen – or beer tankard carrying. A competition judge and a notary were present to witness Strümpfel’s feat. The most difficult part of the operation was to avoiding excessive spillage before placing the beers on a table at the end of the 40-metre stretch. According to the rules no more than 10% of the beer is allowed to slosh out of the glasses. Even empty, a single glass weighs 1.3kg. Video of world record: |
