We answer at a very simple question, "who...?" Who brew the strongest beer? Who serve the largest variety of beers? What is the largest glass of beers? Some records are very cool, some are very big and some are funny... Here we are, let's start from the bottom of our Beers World Records! 5.

The glass measured 2.23 m (7 ft 4 in) tall with a diameter of 1.12 m (3 ft 8 in). It took one hour to fill the glass. It contained 3,664 pints, one for every kilometre of the Tour de France.

We ultimately want to show people that there is an alternative to the mainstream, generic beers and make other people as passionate about craft beer as we are. We have pushed the limits of beers in many directions, ultra hoppy low abv beers (such as Nanny State), Islay Barrel Aged Stouts, Ageing IPAs on the Ocean and doing off the wall collaborations.' We dare to say that we give all our support to such initiative. Great job!
