OK, a pint of beer is technically a measurement so it would be impossible to have one pint be larger than another. However, Timisoara, the second largest city in Romania, has snatched the world record for the largest pint of beer from Malaysia. The record was broken during August and the pint is currently on view in the city’s famous beer factory.
In European measurement standards, here are the stats (I'm not converting them for you - just know that it's big): "The world record-breaking ‘pint’ weighs in at almost 3 tonnes and cost over 35,000 Euros to produce, although half of this cost had been covered by generous sponsorship. The giant beer mug holds 11 thousand litres – that is almost 20 thousand pints of beer. The ‘pint’ is over 6 meters tall, double the size of the previous record, and the container is made of stainless steel."

Nice story! Romania the best!
ReplyDeleteHi Stacey, I’m Kristy writing from BitterSweet Partnership here in the UK. Great post – really amusing to hear about such a big beer mug! The aim of BitterSweet Partnership is to get more women in the UK enjoying beer. One of the things we’ve been experimenting with and talking about is different sizes and shapes of beer glassware – we’ve been thinking about the 2/3rd pint, beer cocktails and serving beer like Kasteel Cru in champagne flutes rather than the traditional pint glass.

ReplyDeleteHi Kristy! That's a great idea to get more women involved in Beer. In my mind though, it's not about the size of the beer or how it's served but rather than most women haven't tried the RIGHT beers. I mean if they knew that dark beer can taste like Chocolate Coffee heaven it would sell itself. I'd like to see more tastings going on that are geared towards really educating women on beer the way we do with wine. The profiles aren't that different really!
