Texas Rangers and Budweiser set Guinness record with 600-gallon beer – NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth

That was quite a big brew outside the Texas Rangers’ home ballpark for America’s 250th birthday.

The Rangers partnered with Budweiser on Saturday to set a Guinness World Record for the largest-ever glass of beer. A 12-foot-tall, 600-gallon glass beer stein was filled in a plaza outside Globe Life Field before the team’s July 4 game against Detroit.

It took nearly two hours to fill the stein before the new record was certified by a Guinness adjudicator present for the attempt.

That broke the previous world record of 550 gallons, set in 2014 by Stod Fold Brewing Company, based in Halifax, United Kingdom. That total had significance to that year’s Tour de France bicycle race.
