To train for the festival, Strümpfel worked out at the gym three or four times a week, which he said amounted to about “200 hours [of training] for about 40 seconds of walking.” Some people might say this is an extreme amount of exercise for a relatively meager payoff, but these people are idiots.
4 Ridiculous Beer and Food Pairings:
Strümpfel’s achievement has inspired people the world over to celebrate; it has also prompted relatively dry media outlets to make ridiculous puns like “can you beer-lieve it?” And if you’re tempted to mock his accomplishments, consider the time you tried to carry 3 beers across the room at a frat party in college and ended up wiping out in front of the girl you wanted to hook up with. This man carried 29 beers, and he is a better human being than you will ever be.
For those who wish to commemorate Strümpfel's achievements while simultaneously sticking to their diets, check out our recommendations for the 10 best low-calorie beers.
