Arlington, Texas — In celebration of America’s 250th birthday, the Texas Rangers today announced plans to partner with Budweiser to attempt the Guinness World Record for the Largest Glass of Beer in recorded history on Saturday, July 4, at Globe Life Field. The moment will bring fans together for a unique celebration and give them the opportunity to be part of a historic occasion to mark the nation’s 250th birthday.
A 12-foot-tall, 600-gallon glass beer stein will be placed on the North Plaza near Texas Live! and begin filling from the bottom with Budweiser’s classic American lager beginning at noon on Saturday ahead of the Rangers game against the Detroit Tigers at Globe Life Field (3:05 p.m. CT first pitch). The stein is expected to be filled completely at approximately 1:45 p.m. CT, at which point a representative from Guinness World Records will verify it as a world record held by the Texas Rangers & Budweiser.
The current Guinness World Record for the Largest Glass of Beer is 550 gallons, set in the United Kingdom on July 6, 2014.
As longtime partners, this is just one example of how the Rangers and Budweiser are creating unforgettable moments for fans throughout the season as Budweiser celebrates its 150th anniversary and continues its legacy as the Official American Beer Sponsor of Major League Baseball. Additionally, the Rangers and Budweiser will host several activations in and outside of Globe Life Field on the Fourth of July in celebration of this historic achievement:
- North Plaza Party: Beginning at 11:00 a.m. on the North Plaza, fans will have the opportunity to purchase a drink at outdoor pop-up bars, create custom baseball cards, and enjoy music curated by a live DJ. Rangers Hall of Fame Public Address Announcer, Chuck Morgan, will serve as master of ceremonies throughout the afternoon.
- $1.50 Budweiser Products: From 1:50 – 2:50 p.m. CT, outdoor pop-up bars on the North Plaza will serve discounted $1.50 beers in honor of Budweiser’s 150th anniversary.
- Free Merchandise: Spectators (age 21+ only) on the North Plaza will have a chance to receive free merchandise commemorating the event, including Budweiser-branded rally towels, cups, and button pins.
