Many of us have struggled to carry a big round back to the table in the pub.
But German barman Oliver Strumpfel has proved that he can hold his drink better than most.
He set a Guinness world record when he carried 27 litre mugs of beer – weighing 110lb (50kg) – a distance of 131ft (40m) without spilling more than a few drops at an event in Abensberg, Germany, yesterday.

Talented Mr Strumpfel, who has said before that he had to train for the feat in the gym to build extra strength on top of marching pints back and forth in the pub, is not new to the world of record-breaking.
He carried a record-breaking 27 pints at the Gillemoos festival, in Abensberg, Bavaria, in 2014 – and managed 24 litres just last year.
But this time Mr Strumpfel upped the ante with his staggering round of 27 litre mugs, or steins as they are known in Germany.
Mr Strumpfel isn’t the only German who deserves a pint. The Guinness world record for the most beer steins carried over 40m by a woman is 19, set by Anita Schwarz (pictured) in 2008
Each glass contained a full litre of beer as the steady-handed barman completed the course.

The Guinness world record for the most beer steins carried over 40metres by a woman is 19, set by Anita Schwarz in Mesenich in 2008.
