Local pub The Unicorn Inn has made history and become a new GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS title holder – joining Heineken and 114 pubs and breweries across the UK to set a unique world record for the most people pulling a pint at exactly the same time.
The nationwide ‘The Big Pour’ event took place on 7th April and in just 10 seconds, saw 114 pubs across the country pour pints of Heineken 0.0 and Heineken simultaneously and in perfect sync. All involved are now the proud holders of the GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS title for the most people pulling a pint online simultaneously.
This modern record attempt was made possible through online video technology, as 114 publicans and pub managers from Cornwall to the Clyde, joined Gemma Morgan from The Unicorn Inn, Church Road, on a mass video call to pour their pints together in real time under the watchful eyes of an official Guinness World Records adjudicator.
‘The Big Pour’ celebrates the installation of Heineken 0.0’s 1,000th tap, making Heineken 0.0 the most widely available 0.0% beer on draught, with more installations than any other brand – a major milestone in making alcohol-free beer more accessible and offering choice for evolving customer preferences.
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.”
