ARLINGTON, Texas - The Texas Rangers and Budweiser are teaming up to toast America’s 250th birthday by attempting to break the Guinness World Record for the largest glass of beer in recorded history this weekend.
Guinness World Record attempt
What we know:
Construction began Wednesday night on a massive, 12-foot-tall vinyl beer stein at Globe Life Field’s North Plaza, located near Texas Live! Workers are applying the final touches to the structure Thursday morning ahead of the official record attempt on Saturday, July 4.
The towering vessel is designed to hold 600 gallons of beer—aiming to surpass the current world record of 550 gallons, which was set in the United Kingdom on July 6, 2014.
The record-breaking attempt is the centerpiece of the Rangers' Independence Day celebrations. On Saturday, crews will begin filling the giant stein from the bottom with Budweiser’s classic American lager starting at noon.
The filling process is expected to conclude around 1:45 p.m. CDT, at which point an official adjudicator from Guinness World Records will be onsite to verify and certify the achievement.
