The Globe pub in Newbury makes history as part of Guinness World Record largest synchronised pint pour

A Newbury pub has made history – for being part of the biggest synchronised pint pour.

The Globe pub, in Bartholomew Street, joined 114 pubs across the country to set a unique Guinness World Record for the most people pulling a pint at exactly the same time.

Organised by Heineken, ‘The Big Pour’ was to celebrate the fact that more than 1,000 pubs are now pouring Heineken 0.0% beer on tap.

The record-breaking pint pour took place on Monday, April 7 and last for just 10 seconds.

This modern record attempt was made possible through online video technology, as 114 publicans and pub managers from Scotland to Surrey, joined The Globe on a mass video call to pour their pints together in real time under the watchful eyes of an official Guinness World Records adjudicator.

Lawson Mountstevens, managing director star pub at Heineken UK said: “Part of the ritual of going to the pub is watching your pint being freshly poured from the tap - the tilt of the glass, the smooth cascade, and mouthwatering anticipation of the first sip.

“This draught experience is central to pub culture, and for non alcoholic beer to become truly mainstream, it needs to be part of that experience.

“It needs to be poured from the tap like any other pint, not just another option in the fridge.

“That’s why we’re committed to getting 0.0 on draught in pubs everywhere, because everyone deserves a proper pint, with or without alcohol.”
