Overview
- The Texas Rangers staged the pour on July 4 and say they filled a 12‑foot glass stein on Globe Life Field's North Plaza with 2,415 liters, which the club reported as about 638 gallons of Budweiser.
- Organizers built the stein with an advertised capacity near 600 gallons and filled it from the bottom in a process that took about one hour and 45 minutes.
- The Associated Press reported that a Guinness World Records adjudicator attended and certified the new total, which would top the prior 550‑gallon record set in the United Kingdom in 2014.
- The event was a high‑profile Independence Day promotion tied to Budweiser's role as MLB's official American beer sponsor and was staged before the Rangers' game against the Detroit Tigers.
- The Rangers' statements show a capacity discrepancy between the stein's advertised 600 gallons and the later 638‑gallon figure, and Guinness's measurement and paperwork will be the final determinant of the official record.
