In conjunction with Oktoberfest 2014, Guinness Anchor Berhad (GAB) unveiled a giant mug at the launch of their annual beer festival. The Biggest Mug is a replica of GAB’s renowned Oktoberfest 2014 promotional mug. Standing at 2.6m high and 1.72m wide, the Biggest Mug was endorsed by The Malaysia Book of Records as “Malaysia’s Biggest Mug.”
According to GAB’s managing director Hans Essaadi, “Oktoberfest is a popular festival that many look forward to annually. And so this year, we decided we are going to commemorate it in a big, extraordinary way; hence the grandeur you see before you. This feat definitely has been a rewarding challenge especially now that we’ve set a new record in The Malaysia Book of Records.
“Having organised the festival successfully for six years, this is an undeniably proud moment for us here at GAB. We are thrilled to bring you a bigger and better Oktoberfest celebration this 2014. Look out for Malaysia’s Biggest Mug as it travels across the country next month,” he said at the launch held at the brewery’s tavern.
The Biggest Mug took about a month to complete, and is made out of fibre glass. But don’t be fooled, this mug is not just for show, as it can actually hold liquid. The Biggest Mug will be travelling the peninsular to give consumers everywhere a closer look. Consumers will also get the chance to take part in the “Guess the Litre” challenge. The top 5 participants who provide the correct or closest estimated volume of liquid the receptacle can hold, wins a year’s supply of Tiger Beer.
