The feat is even more amazing when you take into account that my waitress at Applebee’s last week couldn’t even carry five glasses of water to another table without dumping one of them, and she had a tray.
Oliver Struempfel has worked at a traditional German beer festival for the last 17 years, but odds are he never had to carry 27 full liters of beer to a table all at once.
Now, he might be requested to do so on a fairly regular basis.
The 38-year-old tax inspector set a new world record Sunday at the Gillamoos beer festival in Abensberg by carrying 27 mugs of beer more than 130 feet. The haul weighed approximately 147 pounds, and Struempfel said he wouldn’t have been able to do it without “training in a fitness center, especially in winter time.”
Struempfel had to beat just one other competitor, and the poor bastard wound up looking like such a loser next to the champ even though he was carrying damn near 20 liters himself.
No offense, but I’ll take one of the brewskis that wasn’t pressed up against his mouth during the entire record-setting lift.
