Pinoys try to set Guinness for the longest beer bar. It may only be September but this has not stopped partygoers and beer lovers from joining San Miguel Corp.'s (SMC) "Oktoberfest 2008" in Manila as the country attempts to break the world record for setting up the longest beer bar in the world.
Local beer lovers trooped to Ortigas Friday night where free beer were offered as 200 bars were set up from San Miguel Avenue to St. Francis in Mandaluyong City.
The set up was measured at around 600 meters, 360 meters longer than Guinness record-holder Taiwan.
The Philippines is also trying to set a Guinness record for the most number of people toasting for a beer event.
Oktoberfest organizers said that aside from free beers, thousands of Friday’s "beer troopers" will be treated to a free concert where at least 40 rock bands are scheduled to play. The main feature presents alternative rock band Third Eye Blind.
"Sobrang espesyal ng gabing ito dahil lahat ng magkakaibigan magkakasama ngayon dito para magsaya dahil sasali tayo sa Guinness World record at may tampok pa na foreign band," said Assie Carpio, San Miguel Corp. Brand Manager.
There will also be a fireworks display at the party site starting 9 p.m.
