The Brewers at Geaghan Brother’s Brewing in Bangor, Maine set out to break a Guinness World Record for Most Cans Opened Simultaneously! The current record is 1,149 cans. They made the attempt at Bangor’s Annual Chamber Dinner and here is what happened, maybe Lem & Ephus were in charge of counting?

They opened 1,122!!! 28 cans short!!

As they said on their Facebook Page

“The official results are in, and our official number was 1,122. We missed setting a new world record by just 28 cans! While we didn’t set a new world record, we set a record for Bangor, and we had fun and enjoyed the experience! Special thanks to the Bangor Region Chamber of Commerce, Buoy Local, Maine Distributors, The Advertising Specialists of Maine, the great staff at the Cross Insurance Center, and to everyone who attended and participated!”

Here is the full story in the good ol’ Bangor Daily,
