Michael Sturm (:germany:)holds the record for the most beer steins carried over 40 m by a male :clinking_beer_mugs:

Michael carried 26 beers at the Oktoberfest Brahma Extra SΓ£o Paulo, in SΓ£o Paulo, SΓ£o Paulo, Brazil, on 27 September 2017!:beer_mug::laughing:

Michael tried to carry 28 beer steins on his first attempt, but unfortunately he was not able to complete the 40 m course :smiling_face_with_tear:
The record to beat was 25 beer steins, so for his second attempt he decided to carry 26 beer steins and successfully completed the 40 metres course spilling just a small amount of beer :sweat_smile:

He finished the attempt with 98.33% of the weight at the start :clap::clap::clap:
